Jeremiah 51:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
    wail for her!
Take balm for her pain;
    perhaps she may be healed.
⁹ We would have healed Babylon,
    but she was not healed.
Forsake her, and let us go
    each to his own country;
for her judgment has reached up to heaven
    and has been lifted up even to the skies.
¹⁰ The Lord has brought forth our vindication;
    come, let us declare in Zion
    the work of the Lord our God.
