Ezek. 13:11‑13• 11say unto them which daub it with untempered mortar that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing rain, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall burst forth.
 12And lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing with which ye have daubed it?

Rev. 16:21• 21and a great hail, as of a talent weight, comes down out of the heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great. (Rev. 16:21)
• The hail, in smiting plagues and sweeping judgments (Isa. 28:17). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• This thought is emphasized in the hail, the frozen drops of rain. Those gentle showers which water the earth that it may bring forth its fruits, turned into death-dealing wrath! For a Christ-rejecting world there is laid up “wrath against the day of wrath,” of which the hail is a figure (Ex. 9:22; Hag. 2:17; Ps. 18:12; Rev. 16:21). And yet these fearful judgments—God’s “strange work” —will tell forth the glory of a righteousness, inflexible as well as full of love. “Praise Him... fire and hail; snow and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling His word” (Ps. 148:8). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
