Jeremiah 51:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Flee from Babylon!
    Save your lives, each one of you!
    Do not perish for her guilt.
This is the time of vengeance for the Lord;
    he will exact full recompense for their deeds.
⁷ Babylon was a golden cup
    in the hand of the Lord,
    and she made the entire earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine,
    and now they have gone mad.
⁸ Suddenly Babylon has fallen and is shattered.
    Wail for her.
Fetch balm for her wounds;
    perhaps she can be cured.
