Charles Ellicott Commentary Zephaniah 1:10

"And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills." — Zephaniah 1:10 (ASV)

The fish gate. —See Note on 2 Chronicles 33:14; Nehemiah 3:3.

The second. —The word “city” is to be supplied. The new or lower city is meant. The same expression occurs in 2 Kings 22:14; Nehemiah 11:9.

From the hills. —The “hills” are probably Mount Zion and Mount Moriah, the sites of the old Davidic city and the Temple. Thus all parts of the city are to be included in this destruction.
