“And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.”
On that day, declares the LORD, a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills—the specific Jerusalem topography (Fish Gate, Second Quarter, hills) grounds the prophecy in historical reality; the city's geography becomes the terrain of lamentation. The cry-wail-crash sequence intensifies the auditory horror of judgment; the entire city echoes with despair.
