6 ¡Huyan de Babilonia! ¡Sálvense a sí mismos!

Jeremías 51:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:6

Flee out of the midst of Babylon
This is said either to such as were there of other nations upon trade and business, as Kimchi, to get out of it as fast as they could, that they might not be consumed; or to the Israelites, as Jarchi, the Jews that were captives there. This is applied to the people of God in mystical Babylon, ( Revelation 18:4 ) ; and deliver every man his soul;
or "life"; from the destruction coming on the city, and the inhabitants of it; be not cut off in her iniquity;
or, "that he be not cut off" ^F6; with her, in the punishment inflicted upon her for her iniquities; which is the same as partaking of her plagues, ( Revelation 18:4 ) ; for this [is] the time, of the Lord's vengeance;
the time fixed by him to take vengeance on Babylon for her sins against him, and the wrongs done to his people: he will render unto her a recompence;
the just demerit of their sins; a recompence or reward by way of punishment for them; see ( Revelation 18:6 ) .

Jeremías 51:6 In-Context

4 Caerán muertos en la tierra de los babilonios,
acuchillados en sus calles.

5 Pues el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales
no ha abandonado a Israel ni a Judá.
Todavía es su Dios,
aunque su tierra se llenó de pecado
contra el Santo de Israel».

6 ¡Huyan de Babilonia! ¡Sálvense a sí mismos!
¡No queden atrapados en su castigo!
Es el tiempo de la venganza del Señor
,
él le dará su merecido.

7 Babilonia ha sido como copa de oro en las manos del Señor
,
copa que hizo emborrachar a todo el mundo.
Las naciones bebieron del vino de Babilonia
y se enloquecieron.

8 Pero repentinamente, cayó también Babilonia.
Lloren por ella.
Denle medicina,
quizá todavía pueda sanarse.
