Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
The invading soldiers encourage one another to the attack on Jerusalem.
Prepare—literally, "Sanctify" war, that is, Proclaim it formally with solemn rites; the invasion was solemnly ordered by God (compare Isaiah 13:3).
at noon—the hottest part of the day when attacks were rarely made (Jeremiah 15:8; Jeremiah 20:16). Even at this time they wished to attack, such is their eagerness.
Woe unto us—The words of the invaders, mourning the approach of night which would suspend their hostile operations; still, even in spite of the darkness, at night they renew the attack (Jeremiah 6:5).
