Revelation 7:16
Compare all
14 And I said to him,1 “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, a“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and bwashed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.  
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will adwell among them.  
16 aThey shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; bthe sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;  
17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne awill shepherd them and lead them to1 living fountains of waters. bAnd God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 7:16

They shall hunger no more (ou peinasousin eti). Future tense of peinaw, old verb with late form instead of peinhsousin like Luke 6:25. It is a free translation of Isaiah 49:10 (not quotation from the LXX).

Neither thirst any more (oude diyhsousin eti). Future tense of diyaw, the two strong human appetites will be gone, a clear refutation of a gross materialistic or sensual conception of the future life. Cf. John 6:35.

Neither shall strike (oude mh pesh). Strong double negative oude mh with second aorist active subjunctive of piptw, to fall. They will no longer be under the rays of the sun as upon earth.

Nor any heat (oude pan kauma). Old word from kaiw, to burn, painful and burning heat, in N.T. only here and Revelation 16:9 (picture of the opposite condition). The use of the negative with pan (all) for "not any" is common in N.T. Cf. Psalms 121:6.
