Jeremiah 51:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ “·Run away [Flee] from Babylon
    and ·save your lives [rescue yourselves]!
    Don’t stay and be killed because of Babylon’s sins.
It is time for the Lord to ·punish Babylon [^Lavenge himself];
    he will give Babylon the punishment she deserves.
⁷ Babylon was like a gold cup in the Lord’s hand
    that made the whole earth drunk [^CGod used Babylon to administer his cup of wrath].
The nations drank Babylon’s wine,
    so they went ·crazy [mad].
⁸ Babylon has suddenly fallen and been broken.
    ·Cry [Wail] for her!
Get balm [8:22; 46:11] for her pain,
    and maybe she can be healed.
