Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase eis tous aionas ton aionon {εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων | eis toús ai-ô-nas tôn ai-ô-nōn} uses a superlative idiom “into the ages of the ages” to convey everlasting duration. In translation, the participial structure is rendered as a relative clause for clarity, the passive verbs are preserved to maintain the sense of divine judicial action, and the idiomatic temporal expressions are expressed as “day and night, for ever and ever” or equivalent to reflect both the intensity and permanence of the punishment.
In context — Revelation 20:10
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where also the beast and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever .
