“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.
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.
Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed!
    Wail for her!
Take balm for her pain.
    Perhaps she may be healed.
