Jeremiah 51:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ [a]Flee out of the midst of Babel, and deliver every man his soul: be not destroyed in her iniquity: for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance: he will render unto her a recompense.
7 Babel hath been as a golden cup in the [b]Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken, the nations have drunken of her wine, therefore do the nations [c]rage.
8 (A)Babel is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, bring balm for her sore, if she may be healed.

Jeremiah 51:6-8
New International Version
6 “Flee(A) from Babylon!
Run for your lives!
Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(B)
It is time(C) for the Lord’s vengeance;(D)
he will repay(E) her what she deserves.
7 Babylon was a gold cup(F) in the Lord’s hand;
she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
therefore they have now gone mad.
8 Babylon will suddenly fall(G) and be broken.
Wail over her!
Get balm(H) for her pain;
perhaps she can be healed.
