⁸ “Move^(A) from the midst of Babylon,
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the ^[a]rams before the flocks.

^6 (A)Flee from the midst of Babylon,
And every one save his life!
Do not be cut off in her iniquity,
For ^(B)this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
^(C)He shall recompense her.

⁴⁵ “My^(A) people, go out of the midst of her!
And let everyone deliver ^[a]himself from the fierce anger of the Lord.
