Footnotes
The combination of hail and fire is a cosmic paradox — ice and flame simultaneously (cf. Exod. 9:24: 'fire flashing in the midst of hail'). This signals a reversal of the created order: the elements themselves become instruments of divine judgment. F.O.G.'s 'He turned their rain to hail' stresses the reversal explicitly; F.O.G.M.'s 'in place of rain' carries the same force while flowing more naturally as English prose.
