Jeremiah 51:58-60

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵⁸ Thus says the Lord of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown and [the foundations] made bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; the peoples shall labor in vain, and the nations [only] to satisfy the fire, and they shall be weary.^(A)

⁵⁹ The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now this Seraiah was chief chamberlain or quartermaster [and brother of Baruch].

⁶⁰ So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Babylon—even all these words that are written against Babylon.
