Exegesis
Each clause contains the strong negation construction ou mē {οὐ μὴ | ou mē} plus an aorist subjunctive—akousthē {ἀκουσθῇ | akousthē} “might be heard” or heurethē {εὑρεθῇ | heurethē} “might be found”—which in this context expresses categorical, future exclusion rather than mere possibility.
