Contextual Overview
1"Flee for safety, O sons of Benjamin,From the midst of Jerusalem!Now blow a trumpet in TekoaAnd raise a signal over Beth‑haccerem,For evil looks down from the north,As well as great destruction. 2The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, I will ruin. 3Shepherds and their flocks will come to her;They will pitch their tents around her;They will pasture each in his place. 4Set yourselves apart for war against her;Arise, and let us go up at noon.Woe to us, for the day declines,For the shadows of the evening stretch out! 5Arise, and let us go up by nightAnd destroy her palaces!" 6For thus says Yahweh of hosts,"Cut down her treesAnd cast up a siege against Jerusalem.This is the city to be punished,In whose midst there is only oppression. 7Like a well keeps its waters fresh,So she keeps fresh her evil.Violence and devastation are heard in her;Sickness and wounds are continually before Me. 8Heed discipline, O Jerusalem,Lest My soul become disgusted at you,Lest I make you a desolation,A land not inhabited."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Arise, and let us go up by night,.... Since they could not take the city at noon, and by day, as they expected, they propose to attempt it by night; they would lose no time, but proceed on, day and night, until they had accomplished their end; this shows how much they were resolved upon it, and that nothing could discourage from it; and that they were sure of carrying their point: and therefore it follows,
and let us destroy her palaces; the tower and strong hold of Zion, the temple of Jerusalem, the king's palace, the houses of the high priest, judges, counsellors, and other civil magistrates, as well as the cottages of the meaner sort of people; for the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "her houses"; which, notwithstanding her strong walls, were not secure from the enemy.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Up! and we will make the assault âby night!â
And destroy âher palaces.â
The generals delay the assault until the next morning. The soldiers consider themselves aggrieved at this, and clamour for a night attack.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 6:5. Arise, and let us go by night — Since we have lost the day, let us not lose the night; but, taking advantage of the darkness, let us make a powerful assault while they are under the impression of terror.
