Escape from Babylon;
    each of you run for your lives!
Don’t perish because of her guilt,
    because this is the time
    for the Lord’s retribution,
        a day of reckoning for all that Babylon[a] has done.

Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand;
    it made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine
    and went mad.
But suddenly Babylon fell
    and shattered into pieces.
Wail for her!
    Bring medicine for her pain;
        perhaps she will recover.
