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

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)

making the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;(E)

Wail for her;
get balm(G) for her wound—
perhaps she can be healed.

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)

come, let’s tell in Zion
what the Lord our God has accomplished.(K)
