Jeremiah 51:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Run away from Babylonia!
Run quickly to escape from there!
Do not stay there to die along with Babylonia's people.
The time has come for the Lord to pay them back for their sins.
He will punish them as they deserve.
⁷ Babylon has been like a gold cup of wine in the Lord's hand.
The nations of the world had to drink that wine.^[a]
It made everyone become drunk,
and so they all became crazy.
⁸ But now Babylon will quickly fall.
An enemy will destroy it, so weep for it!
Find some medicine that will make its wounds better.
Perhaps it will become well again.
