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.+

11 “Polish the arrows.+ Fill the circular shields, O men. Jehovah has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes,+ because it is against Babylon that his idea is,+ in order to bring her to ruin. For it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance for his temple.+
