51:60 Jeremiah recorded on one scroll all the judgments that would come upon Babylon – all these prophecies written about Babylon .
51:61 Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah , “When you arrive in Babylon , make sure you read aloud all these prophecies .
51:62 Then 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 !’
51:63 When you finish reading this scroll aloud, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River.
51:64 Then 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 .
