7. Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine;therefore the nations went mad.
8. Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; wail for her! Take balm for her pain;perhaps she may be healed.
9. We would have healed Babylon,but she was not healed. Forsake her, and let us goeach to his own country,for her judgment has reached up to heavenand has been lifted up even to the skies.
10. The Lord has brought about our vindication; come, let us declare in Zionthe work of the Lord our God.
