Exegesis
The coordinated series thanatos kai penthos kai limos {θάνατος καὶ πένθος καὶ λιμός | thá-na-tos kaí pén-thos kaí li-mós} enumerates ‘death, mourning, and famine’, with repeated kai pacing the sense of relentless affliction.
The result clause kai en puri katakauthethesetai {καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται | kaí en py-rí ka-ta-kau-thḗ-se-tai} employs the passive future with prefix kata- to convey comprehensive burning.
In context — Revelation 18:8
For this reason, in one day her plagues will come—death, and mourning, and famine—and she will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.
