Jeremiah the prophet writes in a book the evil that should come on Babylon, and commands Seraiah to read it and cast it into the Euphrates

선지자 예레미야가 바벨론에 임할 재앙을 책에 기록하고 스라야에게 그 책을 읽고 유브라데 하수 속에 던지라고 명함

Jeremiah 51:59–64: the text says, “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. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster. Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.” Jeremiah says to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words, and say, ‘LORD, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’ It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates. Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” The text does not say that Seraiah read the book or cast it into the Euphrates. 51:64 ends, “Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” The Korean Revised Version reads at 51:59 유다 왕 시드기야 사년에 (in the fourth year of Zedekiah king of Judah), 마세야의 손자 네리야의 아들 스라야 (Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah) and 시종장 (chief of the attendants), where WEB reads “in the fourth year of his reign”, “Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah” and “chief quartermaster”.
