Jeremiah 51:6-10
Christian Standard Bible
6 Leave Babylon;(A)
save your lives, each of you!(B)
Don’t perish because of her guilt.
For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance—
he will pay her what she deserves.(C)
7 Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand,(D)
making the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;(E)
therefore, the nations go mad.(F)
8 Suddenly Babylon fell and was shattered.
Wail for her;
get balm(G) for her wound—
perhaps she can be healed.
9 We tried to heal Babylon,
but she could not be healed.
Abandon her!
Let each of us go to his own land,(H)
for her judgment extends to the sky
and reaches as far as the clouds.(I)
10 The Lord has brought about our vindication;(J)
come, let’s tell in Zion
what the Lord our God has accomplished.(K)
Jeremiah 51:6-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon;
save your lives, each of you!
Do not perish because of her guilt,
for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
he is repaying her what is due.(A)
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
making all the earth drunken;
the nations drank of her wine,
and so the nations went mad.(B)
8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and is shattered;
wail for her!
Bring balm for her wound;
perhaps she may be healed.(C)
9 We tried to heal Babylon,
but she could not be healed.
Forsake her, and let each of us go
to our own country,
for her judgment has reached up to heaven
and has been lifted up even to the skies.(D)
10 The Lord has brought forth our vindication;
come, let us declare in Zion
the work of the Lord our God.(E)
