“Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.”
The preparation for siege: 'So arise, and let us attack by night and destroy her fortresses!' This verse indicates that if daylight attack is impossible, the enemy will assault by night, attacking 'her fortresses.' The determination to attack 'by night' emphasizes the enemy's resolution: darkness will not stop the assault. Theologically, this verse suggests that the city's defenses (her fortresses) will be unable to resist the enemy's determination and tactical flexibility.
