8*Babylonia has suddenly fallen and is destroyed! Mourn over it! Get medicine for its wounds, and perhaps it can be healed. 9*Foreigners living there said, ‘We tried to help Babylonia, but it was too late. Let’s leave her now and go back home. God has punished Babylonia with all his might and has destroyed it completely.’ ”

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
wail for her!
Take balm for her pain;
perhaps she may be healed.
We would have healed Babylon,
but she was not healed.
Forsake her, and let us go
each to his own country,
for her judgment has reached up to heaven
and has been lifted up even to the skies.

for her judgment reaches to the skies,
it rises as high as the heavens.’

Suddenly Babylon fell and was shattered.
Wail for her;
get balm for her wound—
perhaps she can be healed.
We tried to heal Babylon,
but she could not be healed.
Abandon her!
Let each of us go to his own land,
for her judgment extends to the sky
and reaches as far as the clouds.

NLTNew Living Translation
But suddenly Babylon, too, has fallen.
Weep for her.
Give her medicine.
Perhaps she can yet be healed.
We would have helped her if we could,
but nothing can save her now.
Let her go; abandon her.
Return now to your own land.
For her punishment reaches to the heavens;
it is so great it cannot be measured.

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed:
Howl for her;
Take balm for her pain,
If so be she may be healed.
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed:
Forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country:
For her judgment reacheth unto heaven,
And is lifted up even to the skies.
