Jeremiah 51:6-10

6“Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the LORD ’s vengeance; he will repay her what she deserves.

7Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD ’s hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they have now gone mad.

8Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.

9“ ‘We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed; let us leave her and each go to our own land, for her judgment reaches to the skies, it rises as high as the heavens.’

10“ ‘The LORD has vindicated us; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has done.’
