“And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.”
Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given authority like the authority of the scorpions of the earth — locusts (akris) pour forth from the abyss, granted power (exousia) like scorpions; both creatures symbolize plague and pain. The locusts' derivation from the abyss establishes their demonic origin, not merely natural disaster.
