By his God, the Lord of hosts,
Although their land is (B)full of guilt
[b]Before the Holy One of Israel.

And each of you save his life!
Do not be [c](D)destroyed in her [d]punishment,
For this is the (E)Lord’s time of vengeance;
He is going to (F)render recompense to her.
Babylon has been a golden (G)cup in the hand of the Lord,
Intoxicating all the earth.
The (H)nations have drunk of her wine;
Therefore the nations are (I)going mad.
