Jeremiah 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 ) .

Jeremiah 51:63 In-Context

61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "As soon as you come to Babylon, be sure to read this message so all the people can hear you.

62 Then say, 'Lord, you have said that you will destroy this place so that no people or animals will live in it. It will be an empty ruin forever.'

63 After you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates River.

64 Then say, 'In the same way Babylon will sink and will not rise again because of the terrible things I will make happen here. Her people will fall.'" The words of Jeremiah end here.
