Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,.... To the place of slaughter; who shall be able to make no more resistance than lambs. This explains what is meant by being made drunk, and sleeping a perpetual sleep, even destruction and death:

like rams with he goats; denoting the promiscuous destruction of the prince and common people together.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Lambs ... rams ... he goats - i. e., all classes of the population (see Isaiah 34:6 note).
