Exegesis
Two prepositional phrases introduced by ek {ἐκ | ek} with the genitive, ek tōn ponōn autōn {ἐκ τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν | ek tôn pónōn autôn} and ek tōn helkōn autōn {ἐκ τῶν ἑλκῶν αὐτῶν | ek tôn helkôn autôn}, express the source or occasion of their blasphemy, which in English is more idiomatically conveyed with “because of.”
In context — Revelation 16:11
And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and because of their sores, and they did not repent from their deeds.
