Exegesis
The following clause adds further actions with new finite verbs: phagontai {φάγονται | phá-gon-tai} “they will eat” governing tas sarkas autēs {τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς | tàs sár-kas au-tês}, and katakausousin {κατακαύσουσιν | ka-ta-kaú-sou-sin} “they will burn up” taking autēn {αὐτὴν | au-tḕn} again as direct object.
In context — Revelation 17:16
And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast—these will hate the prostitute, and they will make her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh, and they will burn her up with fire .
