4 They will fall down slain in the land of the Kasdim,and thrust through in her streets.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God,by the Lord of Hosts;though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon!Everyone save his own life!Don’t be cut off in her iniquity;for it is the time of the Lord’s vengeance.He will render to her a recompense.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,who made all the earth drunk.The nations have drunk of her wine;therefore the nations have gone mad.
8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed!Wail for her!Take balm for her pain.Perhaps she may be healed.
9 “We would have healed Babylon,but she is not healed.Forsake her,and let’s each go into his own country;for her judgement reaches to heaven,and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 ‘The Lord has produced our righteousness:come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.’
