Jeremiah 51:6-8

English Standard Version

^6 (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.
⁷ Babylon was ^(D)a golden cup in the Lord's hand,
    ^(E)making all the earth drunken;
^(F)the nations drank of her wine;
    therefore the nations went mad.
^8 (G)Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
    ^(H)wail for her!
^(I)Take balm for her pain;
    perhaps she may be healed.
