The verse 8 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. God announces Babylon’s destruction through images of destructive wind, threshing, and judgment. In contrast, Israel and Judah are called to remember the Creator of all things. True security is not found in the empire or its gods, but in Yahweh, who made the earth and can bring down what appears invincible.

Wie plötzlich ist Babel gefallen und zerschmettert! Heulet über sie, nehmet auch Salbe zu ihren Wunden, ob sie vielleicht möchte heil werden!
En un momento cayó Babilonia, y despedazose: aullad sobre ella; tomad bálsamo para su dolor, quizá sanará.
De repente Babilonia ha caído y se ha hecho pedazos. ¡Giman por ella! Traigan bálsamo para su dolor; tal vez sane.
Soudain Babylone tombe, elle est brisée! Gémissez sur elle, prenez du baume pour sa plaie: Peut-être guérira-t-elle. -
Babilonia è caduta di subito, ed è stata rotta in pezzi; urlate sopra lei, prendete del balsamo per la sua doglia, forse guarirà.
Num momento caiu Babilônia, e ficou arruinada; lamentai por ela, tomai bálsamo para a sua dor, porventura sarará.
巴比倫 忽然傾覆毀壞; 要為它哀號, 拿乳香來止它的疼痛, 或者可以治好。
