Jeremiah 51:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 51:9
'We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed.' This suggests God's people attempted to be witnesses for righteousness in Babylon (Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego), but the nation remained incorrigible. At some point, efforts to reform the unreformable must cease. The command 'forsake her' recognizes when judgment becomes inevitable. Christians live as witnesses but sometimes must 'shake the dust off' (Matt 10:14).
