Commentary on Jeremiah 6:4
The invaders' words reveal their eagerness for battle. The phrase 'prepare ye war' (Hebrew 'qadash'—literally 'sanctify' or 'consecrate') shows pagan nations viewed warfare as having religious dimensions. Their complaint 'Woe unto us!' at the fading daylight exposes bloodthirsty impatience for plunder. The 'shadows of the evening' create urgency—they fear missing their opportunity. This portrays the relentless nature of God's judgment once set in motion. The irony: what they 'sanctify' for war, God has ordained for judgment.
