Jeremiah 51:6 Context
4Thus the slaine shall fall in the land of the Caldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streetes. 5For Israel hath not beene forsaken, nor Iudah of his God, of the Lord of hostes; though their land was filled with sinne against the holy one of Israel. 6Flee out of the middest of Babylon, and deliuer euery man his soule: bee not cut off in her iniquitie: for this is the time of the Lords vengeance: he will render vnto her a recompence. 7Babylon hath beene a golden cup in the Lords hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations haue drunken of her wine, therefore the nations are mad. 8Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howle for her, take balme for her paine, if so be she may be healed.
