Jeremiah 51:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.

⁷ Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered.

⁸ Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
