And each of you escape with his life!
Do not be 1bsilenced in her 2iniquity,
For this is cYahweh’s time of vengeance;
He is going to drender recompense to her.
7Babylon has been a golden acup in the hand of Yahweh,
Intoxicating all the earth.
The bnations have drunk of her wine;
Therefore the nations are cgoing mad.
8Suddenly aBabylon has fallen and been broken;
bWail over her!
Perhaps she may be healed.

“Flee from the midst of Babylon;
let every one save his life!
Be not cut off in her punishment,
for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance,
the repayment he is rendering her.
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.
Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
wail for her!
Take balm for her pain;
perhaps she may be healed.

Flee from Babylon! Save yourselves!
Don’t get trapped in her punishment!
It is the Lord’s time for vengeance;
he will repay her in full.
Babylon has been a gold cup in the Lord’s hands,
a cup that made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank Babylon’s wine,
and it drove them all mad.
But suddenly Babylon, too, has fallen.
Weep for her.
Give her medicine.
Perhaps she can yet be healed.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon,
And deliver every man his soul:
Be not cut off in her iniquity;
For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
He will render unto her a recompence.
Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
That made all the earth drunken:
The nations have drunken of her wine;
Therefore the nations are mad.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed:
Howl for her;
Take balm for her pain,
If so be she may be healed.
