Jeremiah 51:5-7
The Voice
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
by their God, the Eternal One, Commander of heavenly armies,
Even though their land is awash with the guilt of their sins
against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Get out of Babylon! Escape with your lives!
Do not be caught up in Babylon’s punishment,
For this is the time for the Eternal to avenge His people.
He will pay Babylon what she deserves.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the Eternal’s hand,
intoxicating the whole earth.
Yes, the nations drank her wine,
which is why they went mad.
Jeremiah 51:5-7
New International Version
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken(A)
by their God, the Lord Almighty,
though their land[a] is full of guilt(B)
before the Holy One of Israel.
6 “Flee(C) from Babylon!
Run for your lives!
Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(D)
It is time(E) for the Lord’s vengeance;(F)
he will repay(G) her what she deserves.
7 Babylon was a gold cup(H) in the Lord’s hand;
she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
therefore they have now gone mad.
