Exegesis
The final clause, kai ouketi ou mē auta heurēsousin {καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ αὐτὰ εὑρήσουσιν | kaí ou-ké-ti ou mḕ autá heurḗ-sou-sin}, employs the emphatic double negation with future indicative to express irreversible impossibility. This progression from departure, to ruin, to final loss is mirrored in the English verbs ‘departed,’ ‘perished,’ and ‘will never find.’
