*
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah ,
the son of Mahseiah ,
when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign .
And Seraiah was the quartermaster .
*
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Babylon ,
all these words that are written against Babylon .
*
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah , "
When you arrive in Babylon and see it ,
and read all these words ,
*
then you shall say , "
O LORD ,
You have spoken against this place to cut it off ,
so that none shall remain in it ,
neither man nor beast ,
but it shall be desolate forever .'
*
Now it shall be ,
when you have finished reading this book ,
that you shall tie a stone to it and throw it out into the Euphrates .
*
Then you shall say , "
Thus Babylon shall sink and not rise from the catastrophe that I will bring upon her .
And they shall be weary ."'
Thus far are the words of Jeremiah .
