“And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.”
They have tails with stingers, and in their tails is their power to harm people for five months — the stinging tails (ourā) enable their torment; the power to harm (kakoun) operates through stingers, echoing scorpion-imagery. The five-month limitation again emphasizes divine restraint.
