Jeremiah 51:8

8 Suddenly Babylon fell and was shattered. Wail for her; get balm[a] for her wound- perhaps she can be healed.

Jeremiah 51:8 In-Context

6 Leave Babylon; save your lives, each of you! Don't be silenced by her guilt. For this is the time of the Lord's vengeance- He will pay her what she deserves.
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand making the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore, the nations go mad.
8 Suddenly Babylon fell and was shattered. Wail for her; get balm for her wound- perhaps she can be healed.
9 We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches as far as the clouds.
10 The Lord has brought about our vindication; come, let's tell in Zion what the Lord our God has accomplished.
