‏ Ezekiel 38:20

     20. fishes—disturbed by the fleets which I will bring.

      fowls, &c.—frightened at the sight of so many men: an ideal picture.

      mountains—that is, the fortresses on the mountains.

      steep places—literally, "stairs" (So 2:14); steep terraces for vines on the sides of hills, to prevent the earth being washed down by the rains.

      every wall—of towns.

‏ Zephaniah 1:3

     3. Enumeration in detail of the "all things" (Zep 1:2; compare Jer 9:10; Ho 4:3).

      the stumbling-blocks—idols which cause Judah to offend or stumble (Eze 14:3, 4, 7).

      with the wicked—The idols and their worshippers shall be involved in a common destruction.
