Exegesis

The verse begins with the coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí}, linking this clause to the surrounding narrative.

In the clause kai ouk échousin anápausin hēméras kai nyktós {καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀνάπαυσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός | kaí ouk échousin anápausin hēméras kai nyktós} ‘and they have no rest day or night,’ the present indicative échousin {ἔχουσιν | échousin} with the accusative noun anápausin {ἀνάπαυσιν | anápausin} underscores uninterrupted suffering.
