⁸ Babylon will suddenly fall^(A) and be broken.
    Wail over her!
Get balm^(B) for her pain;
    perhaps she can be healed.

⁹ “‘We would have healed Babylon,
    but she cannot be healed;
let us leave^(A) her and each go to our own land,
    for her judgment^(B) reaches to the skies,
    it rises as high as the heavens.’
