Jeremiah 51:59-64

51:59

The word
<01697>

which Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Seraiah
<08304>

the son
<01121>

of Neriah
<05374>_,

the son
<01121>

of Maaseiah
<04271>_,

when he went
<03212> (8800)

with Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

into Babylon
<0894>

in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

And [this] Seraiah
<08304>

[was] a quiet
<04496>

prince
<08269>_.

{with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet...: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}

51:60

So Jeremiah
<03414>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

in a
<0259>

book
<05612>

all the evil
<07451>

that should come
<0935> (8799)

upon Babylon
<0894>_,

[even] all these words
<01697>

that are written
<03789> (8803)

against Babylon
<0894>_.

51:61

And Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Seraiah
<08304>_,

When thou comest
<0935> (8800)

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and shalt see
<07200> (8804)_,

and shalt read
<07121> (8804)

all these words
<01697>_;

51:62

Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

against this place
<04725>_,

to cut it off
<03772> (8687)_,

that none shall remain
<03427> (8802)

in it, neither man
<0120>

nor beast
<0929>_,

but that it shall be desolate
<08077>

for ever
<05769>_.

{desolate: Heb. desolations}

51:63

And it shall be, when thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)

of reading
<07121> (8800)

this book
<05612>_,

[that] thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)

a stone
<068>

to it, and cast
<07993> (8689)

it into the midst
<08432>

of Euphrates
<06578>_:

51:64

And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus shall Babylon
<0894>

sink
<08257> (8799)_,

and shall not rise
<06965> (8799)

from
<06440>

the evil
<07451>

that I will bring
<0935> (8688)

upon her: and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.

Thus far [are] the words
<01697>

of Jeremiah
<03414>_.
