Flee Babylon! The Time of Vengeance

6

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; don’t be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.

7

Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, who made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

8

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

9

We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

10

The LORD has produced our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

11

Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: the LORD has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

12

Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for the LORD has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

13

You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.

14

The LORD of Hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with the canker worm; and they shall lift up a shout against you.
