Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 51:37

51:36 Dry up - Alluding to what Cyrus did.

51:38 They - The Babylonians, upon the taking of their city.

51:39 Heat - When they shall grow hot with wine, I will make them a feast of another nature. Interpreters judge that Belshazzar, #Dan 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.
