Jeremías 51:63 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:63

And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this
book
To the captive Jews; and having also said the above words by way of prayer and approbation: [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of
Euphrates;
a river by which Babylon was situated. The book, being read, was to be rolled up again, and then a stone tied to it, and cast into the middle of the river, where the waters were deepest, and from whence it could not be taken up; and this was a sign confirming the above prophecy; compare with this what was done by a mighty angel concerning mystical Babylon, in which there is an allusion to this, ( Revelation 18:21 ) .

Jeremías 51:63 In-Context

61 Y Jeremías dijo a Seraías: Tan pronto llegues a Babilonia, lee en voz alta todas estas palabras,

62 y di: "Oh SEÑOR, tú has hablado acerca de este lugar, de destruirlo hasta que no quede morador en ella, ya sea hombre o animal, sino que desolación eterna será."

63 Y tan pronto termines de leer este rollo, le atarás una piedra y lo arrojarás en medio del Eufrates,

64 y dirás: "Así se hundirá Babilonia y no se levantará más, por la calamidad que traeré sobre ella; extenuados sucumbirán." Hasta aquí las palabras de Jeremías.
