Exegesis
The phrase kai pénthos ou mē ídō {καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω | kaí pénthos ou mē ídō} uses ou mē plus the aorist subjunctive ídō {ἴδω | ídō} to signal emphatic future negation, “I will never see mourning.” This syntactic progression—from measurement to command to cause to self-proclamation—constructs a tightly reasoned sequence in which inner hubris justifies proportional punishment.
Root and etymology
exestiepsilon–xi–epsilon–sigma–tau–iota
“it is permitted”
In context — Revelation 18:7
To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her that same measure of torment and mourning, because in her heart she says, “I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow, and I will never see mourning.”
