you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

depart from the Chaldeans’ land.

save your lives, each of you!^(B)

For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance—
he will pay her what she deserves.^(C)

Abandon her!
Let each of us go to his own land,^(A)
for her judgment extends to the sky
and reaches as far as the clouds.^(B)
