Jeremiah 51:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Flee from Babylon,^[a]
    and each of you, escape with your life!
Don’t be destroyed^[b] because of her guilt,
    for it’s time for the Lord’s vengeance.
        He is paying back what is due to her.
⁷ Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
    making the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine,
    therefore the nations have gone mad.
⁸ Suddenly, Babylon fell down and was shattered.
    Wail for her!
Bring balm for her wound,
    perhaps she will be healed.
