For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken(A)
    by their God, the Lord Almighty,
though their land[a] is full of guilt(B)
    before the Holy One of Israel.

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