A dwelling place for jackals,
bAn astonishment and a hissing,
Without an inhabitant.
aI will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.
Oh, how bthe praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!

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.
