And this Seraiah{H8304} was a quiet{H4496} prince{H8269}.
Jeremiah 51:60
So Jeremiah{H3414} wrote{H3789}{(H8799)} in a{H259} book{H5612} all the evil{H7451} that should come{H935}{(H8799)} upon Babylon{H894}, even all these words{H1697} that are written{H3789}{(H8803)} against Babylon{H894}.
Jeremiah 51:61
And Jeremiah{H3414} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Seraiah{H8304}, When thou comest{H935}{(H8800)} to Babylon{H894}, and shalt see{H7200}{(H8804)}, and shalt read{H7121}{(H8804)} all these words{H1697};
Jeremiah 51:62
Then shalt thou say{H559}{(H8804)}, O LORD{H3068}, thou hast spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} against this place{H4725}, to cut it off{H3772}{(H8687)}, that none shall remain{H3427}{(H8802)} in it, neither man{H120} nor beast{H929}, but that it shall be desolate{H8077} for ever{H5769}.
Jeremiah 51:63
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of reading{H7121}{(H8800)} this book{H5612}, that thou shalt bind{H7194}{(H8799)} a stone{H68} to it, and cast{H7993}{(H8689)} it into the midst{H8432} of Euphrates{H6578}:
Jeremiah 51:64
And thou shalt say{H559}{(H8804)}, Thus shall Babylon{H894} sink{H8257}{(H8799)}, and shall not rise{H6965}{(H8799)} from{H6440} the evil{H7451} that I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} upon her: and they shall be weary{H3286}{(H8804)}. Thus far are the words{H1697} of Jeremiah{H3414}.
