εἰς αἰῶνας is standard LXX idiom for 'forever' (156 occurrences). 'For ages' oversold the distinction. 'Forever' matches UPDV convention and naturally contrasts with 'everlasting' (αἰώνιος) in vv.51, 54. Footnote removed.\n\nFixes #37

εἰς αἰῶνας is standard LXX idiom for "forever" (156 occurrences).
"For ages" oversold Goldstein's adjective/phrase distinction.
"Forever" matches UPDV convention and preserves the natural
grammatical contrast with "everlasting" (αἰώνιος) in vv.51, 54.
Footnote removed — adverb vs adjective needs no annotation.

Fixes #37
