Talmud su Geremia 51:39
בְּחֻמָּ֞ם אָשִׁ֣ית אֶת־מִשְׁתֵּיהֶ֗ם וְהִשְׁכַּרְתִּים֙ לְמַ֣עַן יַעֲלֹ֔זוּ וְיָשְׁנ֥וּ שְׁנַת־עוֹלָ֖ם וְלֹ֣א יָקִ֑יצוּ נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָֽה׃
Con il loro veleno preparerò la loro festa, e li farò ubriachi, affinché possano essere convulsi, e dormire un sonno perpetuo e non svegliarmi, dice l'Eterno.
Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
Rebbi Aḥa said, “Who is it that has been connected71Rebbi Aḥa explains the verse such as it is written, who is the one who is connected to God and the future world? Every human, as long as he is alive, has this possibility. The paragraph is inserted here because the verse was mentioned.?” Even those that stretched out their arms against the Sanctuary72Tried to destroy the Temple or helped in destroying it. By necessity, these are Gentiles. have certitude. It is impossible to bring them near since they stretched out their arms against the Sanctuary. It is impossible to keep them far since they repented. On them it says (Jer. 51:39): “They will sleep eternal sleep and never awake.” The rabbis of Caesarea say, Gentile minors73Who, as minors, are incapable of sin, but who, growing up as idolators, cannot have merit. [In Tosephta Sanhedrin 13:1, the opinion of Rabban Gamliel is quoted that children of (Jewish) evil doers (who die in infancy) have no part in the Future World, against the (prevailing) opinion of R. Joshua that all who die as children have part in the Future World, as it is written (Ps. 116:6): “The Eternal is the guardian of the simple ones.”] and the armies of Nebuchadnezzar74Who destroyed the Temple but who, in contrast to the Romans, did not do so out of hatred of Jews and Judaism. In Tosephta Sanhedrin 13:5 it is said that “for those who stretched out their arms against the Sanctuary, the gates of hell will be locked and they will be punished there for all eternity.” It is explained here that this is valid only if they did not repent. will not live, but never will they be judged. On them Scripture says: “They will sleep eternal sleep, etc.”

Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit
The rabbis of Caesarea say, Gentile minors124In the Babli, Sanhedrin 110b, this is restricted to minor children of evil Gentiles. Cf. Berakhot Chapter Nine, Notes 71 ff. and the armies of Nebucadnezzar will not live and will not be judged; about them it says (Jer. 51:39,57): “They will sleep an eternal sleep and never wake up.” From when do Jewish minors live? The elder Rebbi Ḥiyya and Rebbi Simeon ben Rebbi, one said from when they are born, the other said from when they talk125Also in the Babli, Sanhedrin110b.. He who says from when they are born (Ps. 22:32): “they shall come and tell His justice to the born people He made.” He who says from when they talk (Ps. 22:31): “Seed will worship Him, it will by told to the Master by the generation.” It was stated in the name of Rebbi Meïr: From the time [the child] knows to answer Amen in the synagogue. What is the reason? (Is. 26:2) “Open the gates, let the just people come who keep trust126In the Babli, Sanhedrin 110b and Sabbath 119b, it is explained that those who keep trust are those who respond Amen, “trustworthy”..” There they say, from when they are circumcised (Ps. 88:16): “I carried your fear, I cease”127For the translation, cf. Arabic فني "to cease". Once the baby carries the fear of the Eternal, being circumcised, even if it ceases to exist it has part of the salvation expressed in the Psalm. But the rabbis from here say, from when they are born (Ps. 87:5): “He will say to Zion128The Heavenly Zion., everybody [who] was born [is] in it.” Rebbi Eleazar says, even the still-born, what is the reason? (Is. 49:6) “The watched ones of Israel to return”, the created ones of Israel to return129.
