Jeremiah 6:5

The impatience of the soldiers at the delay takes the form of a demand for a night assault. Cp. Isaiah 15:1.

palaces LXX here and often translate by θεμέλια, foundations, though varying much elsewhere in the rendering of the word, and significantly avoiding "palaces." See Article by Mr P. J. Heywood (J. Th. S.XIII. pp. 66 ff.), who suggests that the word denoted primarily the general outline or ground plan as formed by the ramification of streets and buildings, and that the main reference of the word is to the streets and lanes, rather than to higher erections. See his discussion of numerous passages. In Jeremiah 9:21 he renders accordingly "lanes(or quarters)." In Jeremiah 17:27 and Jeremiah 49:27, though "palaces" is not an unsuitable sense for the context, LXX have ἄμφοδα, apparently the houses with the streets round about them.
