‏ Revelation of John 7:16

 They shall hunger no more ( ου πεινασουσιν ετ ). Future tense of  πειναω, old verb with late form instead of  πεινησουσιν like Lu 6:25. It is a free translation of Isa 49:10 (not quotation from the LXX).

 Neither thirst any more ( ουδε διψησουσιν ετ ). Future tense of  διψαω, the two strong human appetites will be gone, a clear refutation of a gross materialistic or sensual conception of the future life. Cf. Joh 6:35.

 Neither shall strike ( ουδε μη πεση ). Strong double negative  ουδε μη with second aorist active subjunctive of  πιπτω, to fall. They will no longer be under the rays of the sun as upon earth.

 Nor any heat ( ουδε παν καυμα ). Old word from  καιω, to burn, painful and burning heat, in N.T. only here and 16:9 (picture of the opposite condition). The use of the negative with  παν (all) for "not any" is common in N.T. Cf. Ps 121:6.
