Jeremiah 51:8 in Context — Jeremiah 51
6 Fugi do meio de Babilônia, e livrai cada um sua alma; não pereçais por causa de sua maldade; pois é tempo de vingança do SENHOR, em que ele lhe dará o pagamento dela.
7 A Babilônia era um copo de ouro na mão do SENHOR, que embriagava toda a terra; de seu vinho beberam as nações; por isso as nações se enlouqueceram.
8 Repentinamente Babilônia caiu, e se despedaçou: uivai por ela; tomai bálsamo para sua dor, talvez sare.
9 Sararíamos Babilônia, porém ela não se sarou; deixai-a, e vamo-nos cada um a sua terra; pois seu julgamento chegou até o céu, e subiu até as nuvens.
10 O SENHOR trouxe à luz nossas justiças; vinde, e contemos em Sião a obra do SENHOR nosso Deus.
