Jeremiah 51:39

_ _ In their heat I will make their feasts — In the midst of their being heated with wine, I will give them “their” potions, — a very different cup to drink, but one which is their due, the wine cup of My stupefying wrath (Jeremiah 25:15; Jeremiah 49:12; Isaiah 51:17; Lamentations 4:21).

_ _ rejoice, and sleep ... perpetual, etc. — that they may exult, and in the midst of their jubilant exultation sleep the sleep of death (Jeremiah 51:57; Isaiah 21:4, Isaiah 21:5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 51:1-58.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 51:39

Heat — When they shall grow hot with wine, I will make them a feast of another nature. Interpreters judge that Belshazzar, Daniel 5:1, made a feast to a thousand of his Lords, when he and his wives, and concubines, drank wine in the vessels belonging to the temple, during which feast the city was taken. And not awake — While they were merry with their wine, they fell into a sleep which they never awoke out of.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 51:39

In their (x) heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.

(x) When they are inflamed with surfeiting and drinking, I will feast with them, alluding to Belshazzar's banquet, (Daniel 5:2).
