Jeremiah 51 — Context

60

So Jeremiah wrote in a single scroll all the calamity which would come upon Babylon, that is, all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.

61

Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "As soon as you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words aloud,

62

and say, 'You, O LORD, have promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing dwelling in it, whether man or beast, but it will be a perpetual desolation.'

63

"And as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates,

64

and say, 'Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
