{The smoke of their torment} (ho kapnos tou basanismou
aut(936e)). See 9:5 for asanismos, only there it was a limited
penalty, here it is "for ever and ever" (eis ai(936e)as ai(936e)(936e),
unto ages of ages). See also 18:9 19:3 20:10 . {They have no
rest} (ouk echousin anapausin). The very language used in 4:8
of the four living creatures in praising God. "Those who desert
Christ for Caesar will be the victims of a remorse that never
dies or sleeps" (Swete). The rest of the verse repeats the solemn
challenge of verse 9 .
