Jeremiah 51:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷Babylon was like a golden cup in the Lord’s hand.
    Babylon made the whole world drunk.
The nations drank Babylon’s wine,
    so they went crazy.
⁸But Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken.
    Cry for her!
Get medicine for her pain,
    and maybe she can be healed.

⁹We tried to heal Babylon,
    but she cannot be healed.
So let us leave her,
    and let each of us go to our own country.
God in heaven will decide Babylon’s punishment.
    He will decide what will happen to Babylon.
