Jeremiah 51:59-64

59The wordH1697 which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MahseiahH4271, whenH834 he went with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. Now SeraiahH8304 was chiefH8269 chamberlain. 60And JeremiahH3414 wroteH3789 in a bookH5612 all the evilH7451 that should comeH935 upon BabylonH894, even all these wordsH1697 that are writtenH3789 concerningH413 BabylonH894. 61And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to SeraiahH8304, When thou comest to BabylonH894, then seeH7200 that thou readH7121 all these wordsH1697, 62and sayH559, O Jehovah, thou hast spokenH1696 concerningH413 this placeH4725, to cutH3772 it off, that none shall dwellH3427 therein, neither manH120 nor beast, but that it shall beH1961 desolate for everH5769. 63And it shall beH1961, when thou hast made an endH3615 of readingH7121 this bookH5612, that thou shalt bindH7194 a stoneH68 to it, and castH7993 it into the midstH8432 of the EuphratesH6578: 64and thou shalt sayH559, ThusH3602 shall BabylonH894 sinkH8257, and shall not riseH6965 again because of the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon her; and they shall be wearyH3286.

ThusH3602 far are the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414.
