Flee out of the midst of Bavel, and deliver every ish his nefesh; be not slain because of her avon; for this is the time of Hashem’s vengeance; He will render unto her a full recompence.

Bavel hath been a Kos Zahav in the yad Hashem, that made kol ha’aretz drunken; the Goyim drank of her yayin; therefore the Goyim go mad.

Bavel is suddenly fallen and broken; wail for her; take balm for her pain, perhaps she may be healed.

Babylon was a gold cup(F) in the Lord’s hand;
    she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
    therefore they have now gone mad.
Babylon will suddenly fall(G) and be broken.
    Wail over her!
Get balm(H) for her pain;
    perhaps she can be healed.
