Jeremiah 51:6-8
International Standard Version
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.
