61. And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: "When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,
62. you will say: 'O Lord, you have spoken against this place so that you may destroy it, so that there would not be anyone, from man even to beast, who may live in it, and so that it may be desolate forever.'
63. And when you will have completed reading this book, you will tie a stone to it, and you will cast it into the midst of the Euphrates.
64. And you will say: 'So shall Babylon be submerged! And she will not rise up before the face of the affliction that I will lead over her. And she will be broken.' " The words of Jeremiah thus far.
