Yirmeyah’s message to be read out in Babylon

Jer 51:59–64

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

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

Now Seraiah was a chief officer,

60and Yirmeyah had written on a scroll about all the disaster that was going to come to Babylon

all these messages that were written about Babylon.

61Then Yirmeyah told Serayah, “When you go to Babylon, ensure that you read these messages aloud 62and 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.’ 63Then when you’ve finished reading out this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River.[ref] 64Say, ‘Babylon will sink like that. It won’t ever recover from the disaster that I’m sending against it, and they’ll become irrelevant

Yirmeyah’s messages end here.
