9  We would have healed Babylon,

but she was not healed.

^dForsake her, and ^elet us go

each to his own country,

for ^fher judgment has reached up to heaven

and has been lifted up even to the skies.

“Alas! Alas! ^lYou great city,

you mighty city, Babylon!

For ^min a single hour your judgment has come.”
