Jeremiah 51:6-10
Legacy Standard Bible

6 (A)Flee from the midst of Babylon,
And each of you escape with his life!
Do not be [a](B)silenced in her [b]iniquity,
For this is (C)Yahweh’s time of vengeance;
He is going to (D)render recompense to her.
7 Babylon has been a golden (E)cup in the hand of Yahweh,
Intoxicating all the earth.
The (F)nations have drunk of her wine;
Therefore the nations are (G)going mad.
8 Suddenly (H)Babylon has fallen and been broken;
(I)Wail over her!
(J)Take [c]balm for her pain;
Perhaps she may be healed.
9 We applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed;
Forsake her and (K)let us each go to his own country,
For her judgment has (L)touched heaven
And lifts up to the very skies.
10 Yahweh has (M)brought [d]about our righteousness;
Come and let us (N)recount in Zion
The work of Yahweh our God!

Jeremiah 51:6-10
New International Version

6 “Flee(A) from Babylon!
    Run for your lives!
    Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(B)
It is time(C) for the Lord’s vengeance;(D)
    he will repay(E) her what she deserves.
7 Babylon was a gold cup(F) in the Lord’s hand;
    she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
    therefore they have now gone mad.
8 Babylon will suddenly fall(G) and be broken.
    Wail over her!
Get balm(H) for her pain;
    perhaps she can be healed.

9 “‘We would have healed Babylon,
    but she cannot be healed;
let us leave(I) her and each go to our own land,
    for her judgment(J) reaches to the skies,
    it rises as high as the heavens.’

10 “‘The Lord has vindicated(K) us;
    come, let us tell in Zion
    what the Lord our God has done.’(L)
