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 dijo Jeremías á Seraías: Cuando llegares á Babilonia, y vieres y leyeres todas estas cosas,
62 Dirás: Oh Jehová, tú has dicho contra este lugar que lo habías de talar, hasta no quedar en él morador, ni hombre ni animal, sino que para siempre ha de ser asolado.
63 Y será que cuando acabares de leer este libro, le atarás una piedra, y lo echarás en medio del Eufrates:
64 Y dirás: Así será anegada Babilonia, y no se levantará del mal que yo traigo sobre ella; y serán rendidos. Hasta aquí son las palabras de Jeremías.
