Jeremiah 51:59-64 - The Scroll Concerning Babylon Is Thrown Into The Euphrates

59 This is the charge that Jeremiah gave unto Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went toward Babylon with Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year of his reign. Now this Seraiah was a peaceable prince. 60 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the misery that should come upon Babylon; yea, and all these sermons that be written against Babylon;

61 and gave Seraiah this charge, "When thou comest unto Babylon, see that thou read all these words, 62 and say, 'O LORD, thou art determined to root out this place, so that neither people nor cattle shall dwell there anymore, but to lie waste forever.' 63 And when thou hast read out the book, bind a stone to it, and cast it in the midst of Euphrates, 64 and say, 'Even thus shall Babylon sink, and be thrust down with the burden of trouble that I will bring upon her: so that she shall never come up again.'" Thus far are the preachings of Jeremiah.
