Zephaniah1:10
Verſe 10. There ſhall be the noiſe of a cry from the fiſh-gate] called alſo the firſtgate, Zach. 14.10. whereat the Caldeans entred, and cauſed a great hubbub, as in ſuch a caſe is uſuall.
and an howling from the ſecond] Called by the Chaldee Paraphraſt, the bird-gate: there was alſo one called the horſe-gate, Jer. 31.40. Some underſtand the text, not of any gate,Jeruſhalaijm. but of the ſecond part of the city: for there was the upper town, and the lower town, (whence Jeruſalem is of the duall number) and the tower of David, on the hill of Zion. Others, of the Colledge where Huldad dwelt, 2 King. 22.14. a ſchool of learning, as the Chaldee interpreteth it, and called Miſhneh. as you would ſay, a place of repetition, or of catechiſing the younger ſort; with whom nothing ſticks but what is repeated to them over and over, as the knife goeth over the whetſtone. Shanan & Shanah repetire, ſicut in acuendo. See Deut. 6.7.
and a great craſhing (or ſhivering, Heb. ſhebher) from the hills] Gareb and Goath, Jer. 31.39. and the reſt that were round about Jeruſalem, Pſal. 125.2. The Prophets ſcope is to ſhew that all places ſhall be full of tumult and out-cry, upon the approach of the enemy. They that would not liſten to the ſweet voice of God inciting and inticing them to repentance, have now their ears filled with hideous and horrid notes, and noiſes.
