Exegesis
The final comparison hos kitharodon kitharizonton en tais kitharais auton {ὡς κιθαρῳδῶν κιθαριζόντων ἐν ταῖς κιθάραις αὐτῶν | hōs ki-tha-rō-dôn ki-tha-ri-zón-tōn en taîs ki-thá-rais au-tōn} uses a genitive of description with a participle to depict ongoing musical action by harpists. The triadic pattern of comparisons from natural elements to crafted music underscores the overwhelming yet harmonious nature of the heavenly voice.
In context — Revelation 14:2
And I heard a sound issuing from heaven, like surging waters and like mighty thunder; and the sound I heard was like harpists plucking their harps.
