“Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the LORD’s vengeance; he will repay her what she deserves.

“Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the LORD.

“Flee from the midst of Babylon; let every one save his life! Be not cut off in her punishment, for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance, the repayment he is rendering her.

“Go out of the midst of her, my people! Let every one save his life from the fierce anger of the LORD!

Flee from Babylon! Save yourselves! Don’t get trapped in her punishment! It is the LORD’s time for vengeance; he will repay her in full.

“Come out, my people, flee from Babylon. Save yourselves! Run from the LORD’s fierce anger.

Leave Babylon;  save your lives, each of you!  Don’t perish because of her guilt. For this is the time of the  LORD’s vengeance — he will pay her what she deserves.

Come out from among her, my people!  Save your lives, each of you,  from the LORD’s burning anger.

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.

My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

Flee from the midst of Babylon, And every one save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He shall recompense her.

“My people, go out of the midst of her! And let everyone deliver himself from the fierce anger of the LORD.

“Get out of Babylon as fast as you can. Run for your lives! Save your necks! Don’t linger and lose your lives to my vengeance on her as I pay her back for her sins. Babylon was a fancy gold chalice held in my hand, Filled with the wine of my anger to make the whole world drunk. The nations drank the wine and they’ve all gone crazy. Babylon herself will stagger and crash, senseless in a drunken stupor—tragic! Get anointing balm for her wound. Maybe she can be cured.” * * *

“Babylon is finished— the pride of the whole earth is flat on her face. What a comedown for Babylon, to end up inglorious in the sewer! Babylon drowned in chaos, battered by waves of enemy soldiers. Her towns stink with decay and rot, the land empty and bare and sterile. No one lives in these towns anymore. Travelers give them a wide berth. I’ll bring doom on the glutton god-Bel in Babylon. I’ll make him vomit up all he gulped down. No more visitors stream into this place, admiring and gawking at the wonders of Babylon. The wonders of Babylon are no more. Run for your lives, my dear people! Run, and don’t look back! Get out of this place while you can, this place torched by GOD’s raging anger. Don’t lose hope. Don’t ever give up when the rumors pour in hot and heavy. One year it’s this, the next year it’s that— rumors of violence, rumors of war. Trust me, the time is coming when I’ll put the no-gods of Babylon in their place. I’ll show up the whole country as a sickening fraud, with dead bodies strewn all over the place. Heaven and earth, angels and people, will throw a victory party over Babylon When the avenging armies from the north descend on her.” GOD’s Decree!

Flee from the midst of Babylon, And each of you save his life! Do not perish in her punishment, For this is the LORD’S time of vengeance; He is going to repay to her what she deserves.

¶“Come out from her midst, My people, And each of you save yourselves From the fierce anger of the LORD.

Flee out of Babylon, Let every one of you save his life! Do not be destroyed in her punishment, For this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; He is going to pay her what she has earned. [Jer 50:28; 2 Cor 6:17; Rev 18:4]

¶“Come out of her midst, My people, And each of you [escape and] save yourself From the fierce anger of the LORD. [Jer 50:8; 2 Cor 6:17; Rev 18:4]

Get out of Babylonia quickly, you foreign people. Flee to save your lives. Do not let yourselves be killed because of her sins. For it is time for the LORD to wreak his revenge. He will pay Babylonia back for what she has done.

“Get out of Babylon, my people! Flee to save your lives from the fierce anger of the LORD!
