Jeremiah 51:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 The slain shall fall in the land of Chaldea,
the wounded, in its streets;(A)
5 For Israel and Judah are not left widowed
by their God, the Lord of hosts,
Even though the land is full of guilt
against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Flee from Babylon;
each of you save your own life,
do not perish because of her guilt;
This is a time of retribution from the Lord,
