51:59 This is the order Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went to King Zedekiah of Judah in Babylon during the fourth year of his reign. ³  (Seraiah was a quartermaster.) ⁴  51:60 Jeremiah recorded ⁵  on one scroll all the judgments ⁶  that would come upon Babylon – all these prophecies ⁷  written about Babylon. 51:61 Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure ⁸  you read aloud all these prophecies. ⁹
