Jeremiah 51:59-64

59This is the order Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went to King Zedekiah of Judah in Babylon during the fourth year of his reign. (Seraiah was a quartermaster.)

60Jeremiah recorded on one scroll all the judgments that would come upon Babylon – all these prophecies written about Babylon.

61Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read aloud all these prophecies.

62Then say, ‘O Lord, you have announced that you will destroy this place so that no people or animals live in it any longer. Certainly it will lie desolate forever!’

63When you finish reading this scroll aloud, 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 judgments I am ready to bring upon her; they will grow faint.’” The prophecies of Jeremiah end here.
