Exegesis
The final coordinated clause, kai ou metenoēsan {καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν | kaí ou metenóēsan}, presents a starkly negative aorist “and they did not repent,” followed by ek tōn ergōn autōn {ἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν | ek tôn érgōn autôn}, which defines the sphere or source from which repentance was expected, rendered as “from their deeds.” The paratactic structure and aorist verbs depict decisive, completed acts of rebellion in the face of judgment, and this is mirrored in English through simple past verbs and a straightforward cumulative sentence structure.
In context — Revelation 16:11
And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and because of their sores, and they did not repent from their deeds.
