20 Go forth, YOU people, out of Babylon!+ Run away from the Chal·deʹans.+ Tell forth even with the sound of a joyful cry, cause this to be heard.+ Make it to go forth to the extremity of the earth.+ Say: “Jehovah has repurchased his servant Jacob.+
6 “FLEE out of the midst of Babylon,+ and provide escape each one for his own soul.+ Do not be rendered inanimate* through her error.+ For it is the time of vengeance belonging to Jehovah.+ There is treatment that he is paying back to her.+
4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people,+ if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins,+ and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues.
