Jeremiah 51:59-64

59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah ^athe son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, ^bin the fourth year of his reign. Seraiah was the quartermaster. 60 ^cJeremiah wrote in a book all the disaster that should come upon Babylon, ^dall these words that are written concerning Babylon. 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words, 62 and say, ‘O Lord, you have said concerning this place that you will cut it off, so ^ethat nothing shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, and it shall be ^fdesolate forever.’ 63 When you finish reading this book, ^g, ^htie a stone to it ⁱand cast it into the midst of the Euphrates, 64 and say, ^j‘Thus shall Babylon sink, to rise no more, because of the disaster that I am bringing upon her, ^kand they shall become exhausted.’”

Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
