Jeremiah 51:9

9 We tried to cure Babylon, but she was beyond help. Let's depart from her and return to your own country, each of you. Her punishment reaches to heaven and extends to the clouds.

Jeremiah 51:9 In-Context

7 Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD's hand; it made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine and went mad.
8 But suddenly Babylon fell and shattered into pieces. Wail for her! Bring medicine for her pain; perhaps she will recover.
9 We tried to cure Babylon, but she was beyond help. Let's depart from her and return to your own country, each of you. Her punishment reaches to heaven and extends to the clouds.
10 The LORD has come to our defense, so let's declare in Zion what the LORD our God has done!
11 Sharpen your arrows; prepare your shields. The LORD is stirring up the spirit of kings from Media. He intends to destroy Babylon; this is the LORD's retribution, a day of reckoning for his temple.
