Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Eternal Conscious Torment

This verse describes the *smoke* of their torment ascending forever, not necessarily the torment itself, and the lack of rest could refer to a state of being rather than active, conscious suffering.

Eternal Duration Language

The verse explicitly states "for ever and ever," which directly indicates an ongoing, continuous duration, leaving no room for a counter-argument that it does not support the theme of eternal duration.

Punishment Language

This verse describes the ongoing torment of those who worship the beast, which is a form of punishment, and therefore directly supports the theme of "Punishment Language."

The Beast from the Earth / False Prophet

The verse describes the torment of those who worship the beast and receive his mark, but it does not directly mention the "Beast from the Earth" or the "False Prophet" as the agent creating the image or enforcing the mark.
