We would have healed Babylon,
but she cannot be healed.
Abandon her!
Let’s go, each one to his own country,
for her judgment has reached up to the heavens[a]
and has risen beyond the skies.
10 Adonai has brought forth our vindication!
Come, let us declare in Zion
the work of Adonai Eloheinu!
11 Sharpen the arrows.

For His plan is against Babylon, to destroy it.
For it is Adonai’s vengeance, vengeance for His Temple.
