Jeremiah 51:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Babylon suddenly falls and is broken:
wail over her!
Bring balm for her wounds,
in case she can be healed.(A)
9 “We have tried to heal Babylon,
but she cannot be healed.
Leave her, each of us must go to our own land.”
The judgment against her reaches the heavens,
it touches the clouds.(B)
10 The Lord has brought forth our vindication;
come, let us tell in Zion
what the Lord, our God, has done.(C)
