4 They will fall down slain in Babylon,

fatally wounded in her streets.

5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken

by their God, the Lord Almighty,

though their land is full of guilt

before the Holy One of Israel.

6 “Flee from Babylon!

Run for your lives!

Do not be destroyed because of her sins.

It is time for the Lord’s vengeance;

he will repay her what she deserves.

7 Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand;

she made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank her wine;

therefore they have now gone mad.

4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,

and wounded in her streets.

5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken

by their God, the Lord of hosts,

but the land of the Chaldeans is full of guilt

against the Holy One of Israel.

6 “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.

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.

4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans,

And they that are thrust through in her streets.

5 For Israel hath not been forsaken,

Nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts;

Though their land was filled with sin

Against the Holy One of Israel.

6 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.

7 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.

4 They will fall dead in the land of the Babylonians,

slashed to death in her streets.

5 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

has not abandoned Israel and Judah.

He is still their God,

even though their land was filled with sin

against the Holy One of Israel.”

6 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.

7 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.

4 They will be killed in the land of the Babylonians

and will die in her streets.

5 The Lord God All-Powerful

did not leave Israel and Judah,

even though they were completely guilty

in the presence of the Holy One of Israel.

6 “Run away from Babylon

and save your lives!

Don’t stay and be killed because of Babylon’s sins.

It is time for the Lord to punish Babylon;

he will give Babylon the punishment she deserves.

7 Babylon was like a gold cup in the Lord’s hand

that made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank Babylon’s wine,

so they went crazy.

4 And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.

5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. 6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense. 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets. 5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. 6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah’s vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence. 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.

4 Babylon’s soldiers will fall down badly wounded in their streets. 

They will lie dead in their own land. 

5 Israel and Judah haven’t been abandoned by their God, the Lord of Armies, although their land is guilty of abandoning the Holy One of Israel. 

6 Run away from Babylon! 

Run for your lives! 

You shouldn’t die because of Babylon’s crimes. 

This is the time for the vengeance of the Lord. 

He will pay the people of Babylon back for what they have done. 

7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand. 

It made the whole world drunk. 

The nations drank its wine. 

That is why the nations have gone insane. 

4 Those who were slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans,

those who were pierced through, in her streets.

5 For Israel and Judah are not left widowed

by their God, the Lord of Hosts,

though their land is full of guilt

against the Holy One of Israel.

6 Leave Babylon;

save your lives, each of you!

Don’t perish because of her guilt.

For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance—

He will pay her what she deserves.

7 Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand,

making the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank her wine;

therefore, the nations go mad.

4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,

and wounded in her streets.

5 Israel and Judah have not been forsaken

by their God, the Lord of hosts,

though their land is full of guilt

before the Holy One of Israel.

6 Flee from the midst of Babylon,

save your lives, each of you!

Do not perish because of her guilt,

for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;

he is repaying her what is due.

7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,

making all the earth drunken;

the nations drank of her wine,

and so the nations went mad.

4 And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans,

and pierced through in her streets.

5 For neither Israel nor Judah is a widower from their God,

from Yahweh of hosts,

though their land is full of guilt

against the Holy One of Israel.”

6 Flee from the midst of Babylon and save each one his life.

You must not perish because of her guilt.

For this is the time of vengeance for Yahweh,

he will repay her what is deserved.

7 Babylon was a cup of gold in the hand of Yahweh,

making drunk all the earth.

The nations drank of her wine.

Therefore the nations acted like madmen.

4 They will fall down dead in Babylon.

They will receive deadly wounds in its streets.

5 The land of Israel and Judah is full of guilt.

Its people have sinned against me.

But I have not deserted them. I am their God.

I am the Lord who rules over all.

I am the Holy One of Israel.

6 “People of Judah, run away from Babylonia!

Run for your lives!

Do not be destroyed because of the sins of its people.

It is time for me to pay them back.

I will punish them for what they have done.

7 Babylon was like a gold cup in my hand.

That city made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank its wine.

So now they have gone crazy.

4 “They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,

And pierced through in their streets.”

5 For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken

By his God, the Lord of hosts,

Although their land is full of guilt

Before the Holy One of Israel.

6 Flee from the midst of Babylon,

And each of you save his life!

Do not be destroyed in her punishment,

For this is the Lord’s time of vengeance;

He is going to render recompense to her.

7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord,

Intoxicating all the earth.

The nations have drunk of her wine;

Therefore the nations are going mad.
