Jeremiah 51:7-9

7Babylon has been like a gold cup of wine in the Lord's hand. The nations of the world had to drink that wine. It made everyone become drunk, and so they all became crazy.

8But now Babylon will quickly fall. An enemy will destroy it, so weep for it! Find some medicine that will make its wounds better. Perhaps it will become well again.

9The foreign people in Babylon say, “We tried to make its wounds better, but it was not possible to do it. Now we must leave it. We must each go back to our own country. Its punishment will have no end. It will reach as high as the sky!”
