Jeremiah 51:8

Babel is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howle for her, bring balme for her sore, if she may be healed.

Geneva Bible 1599

In The King James Version

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.

In Context

7Babel hath bene as a golden cuppe in the Lordes hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations haue drunken of her wine, therefore do the nations rage.

9We would haue cured Babel, but she could not be healed: forsake her, and let vs go euery one into his owne countrey: for her iudgement is come vp vnto heauen, and is lifted vp to ye cloudes.
