Jeremiah51:39

Ver. 39. In their heat I will make their feaſts] Or, I will diſpoſe their drinkings: that is, I will pour into their cups the wine of my wrath: Now poiſon mixt with wine, worketh the more furiouſly. God can puniſh one kind of drunkenneſſe with another worſe.

That they may rejoyce] That they may revel it and ſleep their laſt: and ſo they did,Ecce, hic compotationum est finis. as being ſlain in a night of publike ſolemn feaſting, and great diſſoluteneſſe, which was ſoon turned in moerorem & metum, into heavineſſe and horrour.

And not wake] Till awakened by the ſound of the laſt trump. The Chaldee here hath it, They ſhall dye the ſecond death, and not be quickened in the world to come, ſc. unto life everlaſting.
