Jeremiah 51:59-64

59This is what the prophet Jeremiah commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, the quartermaster, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.

60Jeremiah wrote on one scroll about all the disaster that would come to Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.

61Jeremiah told Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud.

62Say, ‘Lord, you have threatened to cut off this place so that no one will live in it — people or animals. Indeed, it will remain desolate forever.’

63When you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River.

64Then say, ‘In the same way, Babylon will sink and never rise again because of the disaster I am bringing on her. They will grow weary.’” The words of Jeremiah end here.
