Exegesis
In the final clause, kai {καί | kaí} introduces a further coordinated action, while the negative ou {οὐ | ou} with metenoesan {μετενόησαν | metenoḗsan} creates a strong denial: “they did not repent.”
In context — Revelation 16:9
And the people were scorched by great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God , Who holds authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.
