Jeremiah 51:6-10

Living Bible

⁶ Flee from Babylon! Save yourselves! Don’t get trapped! If you stay, you will be destroyed when God takes his vengeance on all of Babylon’s sins. ⁷ Babylon has been as a gold cup in the Lord’s hands, a cup from which he made the whole earth drink and go mad. ⁸ But now, suddenly Babylon too has fallen. Weep for her; give her medicine; perhaps she can yet be healed. ⁹ We would help her if we could, but nothing can save her now. Let her go. Abandon her and return to your own land, for God is judging her from heaven. ¹⁰ The Lord has vindicated us. Come, let us declare in Jerusalem all the Lord our God has done.
