62

Then shalt thou sayh559h8804, O LORDh3068, thou hast spokenh1696h8765 against this placeh4725, to cut it offh3772h8687, that none shall remainh3427h8802 in it, neither manh120 nor beasth929, but that it shall be desolateh8077 for everh5769. desolate: Heb. desolations

And it shall be, when thou hast made an endh3615h8763 of readingh7121h8800 this bookh5612, that thou shalt bindh7194h8799 a stoneh68 to it, and casth7993h8689 it into the midsth8432 of Euphratesh6578:

64

And thou shalt sayh559h8804, Thus shall Babylonh894 sinkh8257h8799, and shall not riseh6965h8799 fromh6440 the evilh7451 that I will bringh935h8688 upon her: and they shall be wearyh3286h8804. Thus far are the wordsh1697 of Jeremiahh3414.
