THE MESSAGE
Jeremiah had written down in a little booklet all the bad things that would come down on Babylon. He told Seraiah, "When you get to Babylon, read this out in public. Read, ‘You, O God , said that you would destroy this place so that nothing could live here, neither human nor animal—a wasteland to top all wastelands, an eternal nothing.'

Contextual Overview
59 During Zedekiah's fourth year as king of Judah, he went to Babylon. And Baruch's brother Seraiah went along as the officer in charge of arranging for places to stay overnight. 60 Before they left, I wrote on a scroll all the terrible things that would happen to Babylon. 61 I gave the scroll to Seraiah and said: When you get to Babylon, read this scroll aloud, 62 then pray, "Our Lord , you promised to destroy this place and make it into a desert where no people or animals will ever live." 63 When you finish praying, tie the scroll to a rock and throw it in the Euphrates River. Then say, 64 "This is how Babylon will sink when the Lord destroys it. Everyone in the city will die, and it won't have the strength to rise again." Jeremiah's writing ends here.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon,.... The evil of punishment predicted and threatened: this he delivered, not by word of mouth to Seraiah to relate when he came to Babylon; but he wrote it in a book for him reread; and he wrote it himself; Baruch, his amanuensis, not being now with him:
[even] all these words that are written against Babylon; in this and the preceding chapter: this book written by Jeremiah was a copy of them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Historical appendix. In his fourth year Zedekiah journeyed to Babylon either to obtain some favor from Nebuchadnezzar, or because he was summoned to be present on some state occasion. Jeremiah took the opportunity of sending to the exiles at Babylon this prophecy.
Jeremiah 51:59
Seraiah - Brother to Baruch.
A quiet prince - literally, “prince of the resting place, i. e., quartermaster.” It was his business to ride forward each day, and select the place where the king would halt and pass the night.
Jeremiah 51:60
In a book - literally, in one book, on one scroll of parchment.
Jeremiah 51:61
And shalt see, and shalt read - Or, then see that thou read etc.
Jeremiah 51:62-64
The sinking of the scroll was not for the purpose of destroying it, but was a symbolic act (compare the marginal reference); and the binding of a stone to it signified the certainty of the hasty ruin of the city.
Jeremiah 51:64
Thus far ... - Whoever added Jeremiah 52:0, evidently felt it his duty to point out that it was not written by Jeremiah.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 51:60. Wrote in a book — Whether this book contained any more than is recorded in this place we do not know; probably it contained no more than what is found in Jeremiah 51:62-64. A book, ספר sepher, signifies, in Hebrew, any writing, great or small.
