6. Get out of Babylon!Run for your lives!If you stay, you will be killedwhen I take revenge on the cityand punish it for its sins.
7. Babylon was my golden cup,filled with the wineof my anger.The nations of the worldgot drunk on this wineand went insane.
8. But suddenly, Babylon will falland be destroyed.I, the Lord, told the foreignerswho lived there,“Weep for the city!Get medicine for its wounds;perhaps they will heal.”
