Jeremiah 51:63

63 cumque conpleveris legere librum istum ligabis ad eum lapidem et proicies illum in medio Eufraten

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 et dixit Hieremias ad Saraiam cum veneris Babylonem et videris et legeris omnia verba haec

62 dices Domine tu locutus es contra locum istum ut disperderes eum ne sit qui in eo habitet ab homine usque ad pecus et ut sit perpetua solitudo

63 cumque conpleveris legere librum istum ligabis ad eum lapidem et proicies illum in medio Eufraten

64 et dices sic submergetur Babylon et non consurget a facie adflictionis quam ego adduco super eam et dissolventur hucusque verba Hieremiae
