51:6 Get out of Babylonia quickly, you foreign people. 1
Flee to save your lives.
Do not let yourselves be killed because of her sins.
For it is time for the Lord to wreak his revenge.
He will pay Babylonia 2 back for what she has done. 3
51:7 Babylonia had been a gold cup in the Lord’s hand.
She had made the whole world drunk.
The nations had drunk from the wine of her wrath. 4
So they have all gone mad. 5
51:8 But suddenly Babylonia will fall and be destroyed. 6
Cry out in mourning over it!
Get medicine for her wounds!
Perhaps she can be healed!
