Jeremiah 51:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
by their God, the Lord of hosts;
but the land of the Chalde′ans^[a] is full of guilt
against the Holy One of Israel.

⁶“Flee from the midst of Babylon,
    let every man save his life!
Be not cut off in her punishment,
    for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance,
    the requital he is rendering her.
⁷Babylon 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.
