 Shalt thou roll up ( ελιξεις ). Future active of  ελισσω, late form for  ειλισσω, in N.T. only here and Re 6:14, to fold together.

 As a garment ( ως ιματιον ). LXX repeats from 11.

 They shall be changed ( αλλαγησοντα ). Second future passive of  αλλασσω, old verb, to change.

 Shall not fail ( ουκ εκλειψουσιν ). Future active of  εκλειπω, to leave out, to fail, used of the sun in Lu 23:45. "Nature is at his mercy, not he at nature's" (Moffatt).
