Jeremiah 51:6-10
New King James Version
6 (A)Flee from the midst of Babylon,
And every one save his life!
Do not be cut off in her iniquity,
For (B)this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
(C)He shall recompense her.
7 (D)Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
That made all the earth drunk.
(E)The nations drank her wine;
Therefore the nations (F)are deranged.
8 Babylon has suddenly (G)fallen and been destroyed.
(H)Wail for her!
(I)Take balm for her pain;
Perhaps she may be healed.
9 We would have healed Babylon,
But she is not healed.
Forsake her, and (J)let us go everyone to his own country;
(K)For her judgment reaches to heaven and is lifted up to the skies.
10 The Lord has (L)revealed our righteousness.
Come and let us (M)declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
Jeremiah 51:6-10
21st Century King James Version
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul; be not cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of the Lord’S vengeance; He will render unto her a recompense.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’S hand, that made all the earth drunken; the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: Howl for her! Take balm for her pain; if so be she may be healed.
9 We woud have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country, for her judgment reacheth unto heaven and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness; come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
