Jeremiah 51:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts]
    did not ·leave [^Lwidow] Israel and Judah,
even though ·they were completely guilty [^Ltheir land was full of guilt]
    in the presence of the Holy One of Israel.
⁶ “·Run away [Flee] from Babylon
    and ·save your lives [rescue yourselves]!
    Don’t stay and be killed because of Babylon’s sins.
It is time for the Lord to ·punish Babylon [^Lavenge himself];
    he will give Babylon the punishment she deserves.
⁷ Babylon was like a gold cup in the Lord’s hand
    that made the whole earth drunk [^CGod used Babylon to administer his cup of wrath].
The nations drank Babylon’s wine,
    so they went ·crazy [mad].
