60 Before they left, I wrote on a scroll all the terrible things that would happen to Babylon.
61 I gave the scroll to Seraiah and said:When you get to Babylon, read this scroll aloud,
62 then pray, “Our Lord, you promised to destroy this place and make it into a desert where no people or animals will ever live.”
63 When you finish praying, tie the scroll to a rock and throw it in the River Euphrates. Then say,
64 “This is how Babylon will sink when the Lord destroys it. Everyone in the city will die, and it won't have the strength to rise again.”Jeremiah's writing ends here.
