“Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.”
Jeremiah 6:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 6:5
The decision to attack at night, despite its dangers, reveals the invaders' determination. Their target 'her palaces' indicates they seek to destroy symbols of authority and wealth. This night attack motif emphasizes the unexpected, overwhelming nature of God's judgment. From a Reformed perspective, this illustrates that when God's patience ends, His judgment cannot be evaded or postponed. The destruction of palaces symbolizes the fall of human pride and self-sufficiency before divine justice.
