For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God,
    by Yahweh of Armies;
    though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.

“Flee out of the middle of Babylon!
    Everyone save his own life!
Don’t be cut off in her iniquity;
    for it is the time of Yahweh’s vengeance.
    He will render to her a recompense.
Babylon has been a golden cup in Yahweh’s hand,
    who made all the earth drunk.
The nations have drunk of her wine;
    therefore the nations have gone mad.
