Jeremiah 51:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 Suddenly (A)Babylon has fallen and been broken;
(B)Wail over her!
(C)Bring [a]balm for her pain;
Perhaps she may be healed.
9 We applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed;
Abandon her and (D)let’s each go to his own country,
For her judgment has (E)reached to heaven
And it rises to the clouds.
10 The Lord has (F)brought [b]about our vindication;
Come and let’s (G)recount in Zion
The work of the Lord our God!
