Yirmiyah’s message to be read out in Bavel

Yir 51:59–64

59 This is the message that the prophet Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) commanded Serayah (son of Neriyah, son of Mahseyah)

when he went with Yehudah’s (Judah’s) King Tsidkiyah (Zedekiah) to Bavel (Babylon) in the fourth year of his reign.

Now Serayah was a chief officer,

60 and Yirmiyah had written on a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come to Bavel—

all these messages that were written about Bavel.

61 Then Yirmiyah told Serayah, “When you go to Bavel, ensure that you read these messages aloud 62 and then pray, ‘Yahweh, you yourself have declared that you would destroy this place, and then that no man or animal will live in it and it’ll be desolate forever.’ 63 Then when you’ve finished reading out this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Perat (Euphrates) River.[ref] 64 Say, ‘Bavel will sink like that. It won’t ever recover from the disaster that I’m sending against it, and they’ll become irrelevant’

Yirmiyah’s messages end here.
