Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 51:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 Get out of Babylon!
Run for your lives!
If you stay, you will be killed
when I take revenge on the city
and punish it for its sins.
7 (A) Babylon was my golden cup,
filled with the wine
of my anger.
The nations of the world
got drunk on this wine
and went insane.
8 But suddenly, Babylon will fall
and be destroyed.
I, the Lord, told the foreigners[a]
who lived there,
“Weep for the city!
Get medicine for its wounds;
maybe they will heal.”
Footnotes
- 51.8 the foreigners: Or “my people.”
