Jeremiah 51:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible

5 The Lord Almighty, Israel's God,
will not leave Israel and Judah on their own.
Those people are guilty of many bad things
that they have done against Israel's holy God.[a]
6 Run away from Babylonia!
Run quickly to escape from there!
Do not stay there to die along with Babylonia's people.
The time has come for the Lord to pay them back for their sins.
He will punish them as they deserve.
7 Babylon has been like a gold cup of wine in the Lord's hand.
The nations of the world had to drink that wine.[b]
It made everyone become drunk,
and so they all became crazy.

Footnotes

  1. 51:5 ‘Those people’ probably means the people of Babylonia. See Jeremiah 50:29. It might mean the people of Israel and Judah, who did bad things against the Lord, but he continued to be with them.
  2. 51:7 The cup of wine is a picture of God's anger. He used Babylon to punish other nations. See Jeremiah 25:15-29.
