Jeremiah 51:6-10
World English Bible
6 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon!
Everyone save his own life!
Don’t be cut off in her iniquity;
for it is the time of Yahweh’s vengeance.
He will render to her a recompense.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in Yahweh’s hand,
who made all the earth drunk.
The nations have drunk of her wine;
therefore the nations have gone mad.
8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed!
Wail for her!
Take balm for her pain.
Perhaps she may be healed.
9 “We would have healed Babylon,
but she is not healed.
Forsake her,
and let’s each go into his own country;
for her judgment reaches to heaven,
and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 ‘Yahweh has produced our righteousness:
come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.’
Jeremiah 51:6-10
