For Israel is (A)not forsaken, nor Judah,
By his God, the Lord of hosts,
Though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.”

(B)Flee from the midst of Babylon,
And every one save his life!
Do not be cut off in her iniquity,
For (C)this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
(D)He shall recompense her.
(E)Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
That made all the earth drunk.
(F)The nations drank her wine;
Therefore the nations (G)are deranged.

“Flee(C) from Babylon!
    Run for your lives!
    Do not be destroyed because of her sins.(D)
It is time(E) for the Lord’s vengeance;(F)
    he will repay(G) her what she deserves.

    she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
    therefore they have now gone mad.
