Jeremiah 51:60-62. So Jeremiah wrote in a book Namely, in the two foregoing chapters; all the evil that should come upon Babylon This was done that it might be known even in Babylon itself that Jeremiah had foretold the destruction of that city, six years before the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 51:59-64
Jeremiah’s message sent to Babylon (51:59-64)When Jeremiah finished writing down his announcement of Babylon’s downfall, he sent it with Seraiah to be read to the exiles in Babylon. (Seraiah was the brother of Baruch and probably a court official; cf. v. 59 with 32:12.)

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 51:60
Evil written in a book. I. THE FACT THAT EVIL IS WRITTEN AS WELL AS SPOKEN . The evils that Jehovah denounced against Babylon were such as could be written in a book, because the denunciations were not those of selfish and hasty passion, but expressed the calm wrath of a righteous God.
