Jeremiah 51:60-64

60So JeremiahH3414 1wroteH3789 in a singleH259 2scrollH5612 allH3605 the calamityH7463 whichH834 would comeH935 upon BabylonH894, that is, allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 which have been writtenH3789 concerningH413 BabylonH894.

61Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to SeraiahH8304, “As soon as you comeH935 to BabylonH894, then seeH7200 that you readH7121 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 aloud,

62and sayH559, ‘You, O LordH3068, have 3promisedH1696 concerningH413 thisH2088 placeH4725 to 4cutH3772 it offH3772, so that there will be 5nothingH1115 dwellingH3427 in it, 6whetherH4480 manH120 or beastH929, but it will be a perpetualH5769 desolationH8077.’

63And as soon as you finishH3615 readingH7121 thisH2088 7scrollH5612, you will tieH7194 a stoneH68 to it and 8throwH7993 it into the middleH8432 of the EuphratesH6578,

64and sayH559, ‘JustH3602 soH3602 shall BabylonH894 sinkH8257 downH8257 and 9not riseH6965 again becauseH4480H6440 of the calamityH7463 that I am going to bringH935 upon her; and they will becomeH3286 10exhaustedH3286.’” 11ThusH2008 farH5704 are the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414.
