Jeremiah 51 · Grade 3
A Stone in the Euphrates
Read the Story
God's message about Babylon went on. Babylon was rich and strong. But its idols were made by people. There was no breath in them.
Yahweh is not like them. He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. He sends rain, lightning, and wind. God told his people to leave Babylon and remember Jerusalem.
Jeremiah wrote the whole message in a book. He gave it to Seraiah, who was going to Babylon. Seraiah read the words there. Then he tied a stone to the book and threw it into the river Euphrates. It sank, and Babylon would sink like that and not rise again.
