For Israel hath not been forsaken,
nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts;
though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon,
and deliver every man his soul:
be not cut off in her iniquity;
for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
he will render unto her a recompence.

Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
that made all the earth drunken:
the nations have drunken of her wine;
therefore the nations are mad.

    Run for your lives!
    Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(D)

Babylon was a gold cup(H) in the Lord’s hand;
