^6 (A)Flee from the midst of Babylon,
And each of you save his life!
Do not ^(B)perish in her ^[a]punishment,
For this is the ^(C)Lord’s time of vengeance;
He is going to ^(D)repay to her what she deserves.

^11 (A)Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes,
Because His plan is against Babylon to destroy it;
For it is the ^(B)vengeance of the Lord, vengeance for His temple.
