Jeremiah 51:58-64
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 51
58
This is what the
Lord
of armies says:
'The broad wall of Babylon will be completely demolished,
And her high gates will be set on fire;
So the peoples will labor for nothing,
And the nations become exhausted
only
for fire.'
59
The command that Jeremiah the prophet gave Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. (And Seraiah was quartermaster.)
60
Jeremiah wrote on a single scroll all the disaster which would come against Babylon,
that is,
all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.
61
Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, 'As soon as you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud,
62
and say, ‘You,
Lord
, have promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing living in it, whether man or animal; but it will be a permanent desolation.’
63
And as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you shall tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates,
64
and say, ‘Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise
again,
because of the disaster that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.’?' To this point are the words of Jeremiah.
King James Version
Chapter 51
58
Thus saith the
Lord
of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
59
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
60
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
61
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
62
Then shalt thou say, O
Lord
, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
64
And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 51
58
This is what the
Lord
of Armies says:
Babylon’s thick walls will be totally demolished,
and her high gates set ablaze.
The peoples will have labored for nothing;
the nations will weary themselves only to feed the fire.
59
This is what the prophet Jeremiah commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, the quartermaster, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
60
Jeremiah wrote on one scroll about all the disaster that would come to Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
61
Jeremiah told Seraiah, "When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud.
62
Say, ‘
Lord
, you have threatened to cut off this place so that no one will live in it—people or animals. Indeed, it will remain desolate forever.’
63
When you have finished reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River.
64
Then say, ‘In the same way, Babylon will sink and never rise again because of the disaster I am bringing on her. They will grow weary.’" The words of Jeremiah end here.
New Living Translation
Chapter 51
58
This is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies says:
'The thick walls of Babylon will be leveled to the ground,
and her massive gates will be burned.
The builders from many lands have worked in vain,
for their work will be destroyed by fire!'
59
The prophet Jeremiah gave this message to Seraiah son of Neriah and grandson of Mahseiah, a staff officer, when Seraiah went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah. This was during the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
60
Jeremiah had recorded on a scroll all the terrible disasters that would soon come upon Babylon — all the words written here.
61
He said to Seraiah, 'When you get to Babylon, read aloud everything on this scroll.
62
Then say, ‘
Lord
, you have said that you will destroy Babylon so that neither people nor animals will remain here. She will lie empty and abandoned forever.’
63
When you have finished reading the scroll, tie it to a stone and throw it into the Euphrates River.
64
Then say, ‘In this same way Babylon and her people will sink, never again to rise, because of the disasters I will bring upon her.’' This is the end of Jeremiah’s messages.

New International Version
Chapter 51

Lord
Almighty says:
"Babylon’s thick wall will be leveled
and her high gates set on fire;
the peoples exhaust themselves for nothing,
the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames."
59
This is the message Jeremiah the prophet gave to the staff officer Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with Zedekiah king of Judah in the fourth year of his reign.
60
Jeremiah had written on a scroll about all the disasters that would come upon Babylon—all that had been recorded concerning Babylon.
61
He said to Seraiah, "When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud.

Then say, ‘
Lord
, you have said you will destroy this place, so that neither people nor animals will live in it; it will be desolate forever.’
63

New King James Version
Chapter 51
58
Thus says the
Lord
of hosts:
“The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken,
And her high gates shall be burned with fire;
The people will labor in vain,
And the nations, because of the fire;
And they shall be weary.”
59
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And Seraiah
was
the quartermaster.
60
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
61
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon and see it, and read all these words,
62
then you shall say, ‘O
Lord
, You have spoken against this place to cut it off, so that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but it shall be desolate forever.’
63
Now it shall be, when you have finished reading this book,
that
you shall tie a stone to it and throw it out into the Euphrates.
64
Then you shall say, ‘Thus Babylon shall sink and not rise from the catastrophe that I will bring upon her. And they shall be weary.’ ” Thus far
are
the words of Jeremiah.
