Jeremiah 51:5

A Message Concerning Babylon

⁴ Those who were slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans,
those who were pierced through, in her streets.
⁵ For Israel and Judah are not left widowed
by their God, the Lord of Hosts,
though their land is full of guilt
against the Holy One of Israel. ⁶ Leave Babylon;
save your lives, each of you!
Don’t perish because of her guilt.
For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance—
He will pay her what she deserves.
