(A)“Flee from the midst of Babylon;
    let every one save his life!
(B)Be not cut off in her punishment,
    (C)for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance,
    the repayment he is rendering her.
Babylon was (D)a golden cup in the Lord's hand,
    (E)making all the earth drunken;
(F)the nations drank of her wine;
    therefore the nations went mad.
(G)Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
    (H)wail for her!
(I)Take balm for her pain;
    perhaps she may be healed.
We would have healed Babylon,
    but she was not healed.
(J)Forsake her, and (K)let us go
    each to his own country,
for (L)her judgment has reached up to heaven
    and has been lifted up even to the skies.

“Flee(A) from Babylon!
    Run for your lives!
    Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(B)
It is time(C) for the Lord’s vengeance;(D)
    he will repay(E) her what she deserves.
Babylon was a gold cup(F) in the Lord’s hand;
    she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
    therefore they have now gone mad.
Babylon will suddenly fall(G) and be broken.
    Wail over her!
Get balm(H) for her pain;
    perhaps she can be healed.

“‘We would have healed Babylon,
    but she cannot be healed;
let us leave(I) her and each go to our own land,
    for her judgment(J) reaches to the skies,
    it rises as high as the heavens.’
