61. Jeremiah said to Seraiah: When you get to Babylon, see to it that you read all these words.
62. Then say, "Lord, you declared that this place will be destroyed and nothing will remain in it—neither human nor animal; that it will forever be a wasteland!"
63. When you finish reading the scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates River.
64. Then say, "In the same way, Babylon will sink and never rise again because of the disaster I’m bringing against it."Jeremiah’s words end here.
