60 Jeremiah had written on a scroll all the terrible things that would happen to Babylon. He had written all these words about Babylon.
61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “Go to Babylon. Be sure to read this message so all the people can hear you.
62 Then say, ‘Lord, you have said that you will destroy this place. You will destroy it so that no people or animals will live in it. It will be an empty ruin forever.’
63 After you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it. And throw it into the Euphrates River.
64 Then say, ‘In the same way Babylon will sink. It will not rise again. It will sink because of the terrible things I will make happen here. Her people will fall.’”The words of Jeremiah end here.
