The scroll in the river

61And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words.”

62and say, ‘O Yahweh, you yourself have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off so that no inhabitant will be in it, from man to beast; for it will become everlasting desolations.’

63And when you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the midst of the Euphrates,

64And you shall say, ‘Thus Babylon will sink and will not rise because of the disaster that I am bringing upon her, and they will grow weary.’ Up to this point are the words of Jeremiah.
