Jeremiah 51:41 - John Wesley's Notes

Jeremiah 51:41

39 In their excitement I will prepare their feasts;
^aI will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.

40 “I will bring them down
Like lambs to the slaughter,
Like rams with male goats.

41 “Oh, how ^aSheshach is taken!
Oh, how ^bthe praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!

42 ^aThe sea has come up over Babylon;
She is covered with the multitude of its waves.

43 ^aHer cities are a desolation,
A dry land and a wilderness,
A land where ^bno one dwells,
Through which no son of man passes.

44 I will punish ^aBel in Babylon,
And I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed;
And the nations shall not stream to him anymore.
Yes, ^bthe wall of Babylon shall fall.

45 “My^a people, go out of the midst of her!
And let everyone deliver¹ himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.
