Contextual Overview
1This is what the Lord says: 2I will send strangers to Babylonwho will scatter her and strip her land bare,for they will come against herfrom every side in the day of disaster. 3Don’t let the archer string his bow;don’t let him put on his armor.Don’t spare her young men;completely destroy her entire army! 4Those who were slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans,those who were pierced through, in her streets.5For Israel and Judah are not left widowedby their God, the Lord of Armies,though their land is full of guiltagainst the Holy One of Israel. 6Leave 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. 7Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand,making the whole earth drunk.The nations drank her wine;therefore, the nations go mad. 8Suddenly Babylon fell and was shattered.Wail for her;get balm for her wound—perhaps she can be healed. 9We tried to heal Babylon,but she could not be healed.Abandon her!Let each of us go to his own land,for her judgment extends to the skyand reaches as far as the clouds. 10The Lord has brought about our vindication;come, let’s tell in Zionwhat the Lord our God has accomplished.
