⁸ Suddenly Babylon has fallen and is shattered.
    Wail for her.
Fetch balm for her wounds;
    perhaps she can be cured.
⁹ We tried to heal Babylon,
    but she cannot be healed.
Leave her and let us depart,
    each one to his own land.
For her judgment reaches up to heaven
    and touches the clouds.
¹⁰ The Lord has made clear our vindication.
    Come, let us proclaim in Zion
    what the Lord, our God, has done.
