Jeremiah 51:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ Suddenly Babylon has fallen and is shattered;
    wail for her!
Bring balm for her wound;
    perhaps she may be healed.
⁹ We tried to heal Babylon,
    but she could not be healed.
Forsake her, and let each of us go
    to our own country;
for her judgement has reached up to heaven
    and has been lifted up even to the skies.
¹⁰ The Lord has brought forth our vindication;
    come, let us declare in Zion
    the work of the Lord our God.
