The Fate of Babylons

Jeremiah 51:6-9

[6] “Flee from Babylon!

    Run for your lives!

    Do not be destroyed because of her sins.

It is time for the Lord’s vengeance;

    he will repay her what she deserves.

[7] Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand;

    she made the whole earth drunk.

The nations drank her wine;

    therefore they have now gone mad.

[8] Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken.

    Wail over her!

Get balm for her pain;

    perhaps she can be healed.

[9] “‘We would have healed Babylon,

    but she cannot be healed;

let us leave her and each go to our own land,

    for her judgment reaches to the skies,

    it rises as high as the heavens.’

----------

Jeremiah 51:42-44

[42] The sea will rise over Babylon;

    its roaring waves will cover her.

[43] Her towns will be desolate,

    a dry and desert land,

a land where no one lives,

    through which no one travels.

[44] I will punish Bel in Babylon

    and make him spew out what he has swallowed.

The nations will no longer stream to him.

    And the wall of Babylon will fall.
