Jeremiah 51:6 - 51:10

Flee from the midst of Babylon,

And each of you escape with his life!

Do not be silenced in her iniquity,

For this is Yahweh’s time of vengeance;

He is going to render recompense to her.

Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of Yahweh,

Intoxicating all the earth.

The nations have drunk of her wine;

Therefore the nations are going mad.

Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;

Wail over her!

Take balm for her pain;

Perhaps she may be healed.

We applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed;

Forsake her and let us each go to his own country,

For her judgment has touched heaven

And lifts up to the very skies.

Yahweh has brought about our righteousness;

Come and let us recount in Zion

The work of Yahweh our God!
