For (A)neither Israel nor Judah has been widowed
By his God, by Yahweh of hosts,
Although their land is (B)full of guilt
[a]Before the Holy One of Israel.

And each of you escape with his life!
Do not be [b](D)silenced in her [c]iniquity,
For this is (E)Yahweh’s time of vengeance;
He is going to (F)render recompense to her.
Babylon has been a golden (G)cup in the hand of Yahweh,
Intoxicating all the earth.
The (H)nations have drunk of her wine;
Therefore the nations are (I)going mad.
