Jeremiah 51:6-8

The Voice

⁶ Get out of Babylon! Escape with your lives!
    Do not be caught up in Babylon’s punishment,
For this is the time for the Eternal to avenge His people.
    He will pay Babylon what she deserves.
⁷ Babylon has been a golden cup in the Eternal’s hand,
    intoxicating the whole earth.
Yes, the nations drank her wine,
    which is why they went mad.
⁸ But now Babylon—cup of God’s wrath—has fallen and shattered.
    Weep for her, if you can!
Give her something for her pain;
    perhaps she may still be healed.
