SCRIPTURE

"Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces." — Jeremiah 6:5 (ASV)

Up! and we will make the assault by night!

And destroy her palaces.

The generals delay the assault until the next morning. The soldiers consider themselves aggrieved at this, and clamor for a night attack.
