⁶¹ He said to Seraiah, “When you reach Babylon, make sure that you read all these words aloud. ⁶² Then say, ‘O Lord, you yourself declared your firm resolve to destroy this place so that neither man nor beast will ever live here again; it will be a desolate waste forever.’

⁶³ “When you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates.
