Jeremiah 51:60 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:60

So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come
upon Babylon
The evil of punishment predicted and threatened: this he delivered, not by word of mouth to Seraiah to relate when he came to Babylon; but he wrote it in a book for him reread; and he wrote it himself; Baruch, his amanuensis, not being now with him: [even] all these words that are written against Babylon;
in this and the preceding chapter: this book written by Jeremiah was a copy of them.

Jeremiah 51:60 In-Context

58 The LORD of heavenly forces proclaims: Babylon's massive walls will come down, down to the ground; and its high gates will be burned to the ground. People labor in vain; nations toil for nothing but ashes!

59 This is what the prophet Jeremiah instructed the staff officer Seraiah, Neriah's son and Mahseiah's grandson, when Seraiah went to Babylon with Judah's King Zedekiah in the fourth year of his rule. Jeremiah's words end here.

60 Jeremiah wrote down in a single scroll all the disasters that would happen to Babylon—all these things concerning Babylon.

61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah: When you get to Babylon, see to it that you read all these words.

62 Then say, "LORD, you declared that this place will be destroyed and nothing will remain in it—neither human nor animal; that it will forever be a wasteland!"
