Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tous aionas ton aionon {εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων | eis toús ai-ô-nas tôn ai-ô-nōn} is an intensified idiom: the plural “ages” plus the genitive “of the ages” stacks temporal terms to express unending duration. In translation, the first clause is rendered with explicit quotation to preserve the reported speech, and the second clause is cast as a simple declarative sentence that keeps the present-progressive sense (“rises” / “keeps rising”), while the idiom is captured by “forever and ever” / “for all eternity” to communicate the force of the Greek construction.
In context — Revelation 19:3
And a second time they said, “Hallelujah !” And the smoke of her rises forever and ever.
