Jeremiah 51:40 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:40

I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter
To the place of slaughter; who shall be able to make no more resistance than lambs. This explains what is meant by being made drunk, and sleeping a perpetual sleep, even destruction and death: like rams with he goats;
denoting the promiscuous destruction of the prince and common people together.
