for HER SINS HAVE PILED UP as high as heaven, and GOD HAS REMEMBERED HER INIQUITIES.

Again, no exposition will be given. Read and reread this couplet (verses 4 and 5). Let them sink deep into your spirit, and then change your actions as the Lord leads you.


My people, you must escape from Babylon.
Don't take part in her sins and share her punishment.
Her sins are piled as high as heaven.
God has remembered the evil she has done.

--Contemporary English version.


Get out, my people, as fast as you can,
so you don't get mixed up in her sins,
so you don't get caught in her doom.
Her sins stink to high heaven;
God has remembered every evil she's done.
