Jeremias 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 ) .

Jeremias 51:63 In-Context

61 E disse Jeremias a Seraías: Quando chegares a Babilônia, vê que leias todas estas palavras;

62 e dirás: Tu, Senhor, falaste a respeito deste lugar, que o havias de desarraigar, até não ficar nele morador algum, nem homem nem animal, mas que se tornaria em perpétua desolação.

63 E acabando tu de ler este livro, atar-lhe-ás uma pedra e o lançarás no meio do Eufrates;

64 e dirás: Assim será submergida Babilônia, e não se levantará, por causa do mal que vou trazer sobre ela; e eles se cansarão.
