(A)“Flee from the midst of Babylon;
    let every one save his life!
(B)Be not cut off in her punishment,
    (C)for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance,
    the repayment he is rendering her.
Babylon was (D)a golden cup in the Lord's hand,
    (E)making all the earth drunken;
(F)the nations drank of her wine;

(G)Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
    (H)wail for her!
(I)Take balm for her pain;
    perhaps she may be healed.
