What does Jeremiah 51:39 mean?

When they’re celebrating and drunk, I’ll set out a feast for them and make them fall asleep forever—they’ll never wake up. That’s what the Lord says. Jeremiah 51:39 - Modern Text Bible

(God says He’ll strike Babylon when they feel safe and are partying, putting them into a sleep from which they’ll never wake—meaning total destruction.)
