And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;

And Jeremias said to Saraias: When thou shalt come into Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words,

And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, 'When thou dost enter Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words,

And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: "When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,

Et dixit Jeremias ipsi Seraiae, Quum ingressus fueris Babylonem, et conspexeris eam, tunc leges omnes sermones istos,

And shalt see, and shalt read - Or, then see that thou read etc.

And Jeremiah said to Seraiah,.... At the time he delivered the copy to him:
when thou comest to Babylon; or art come to Babylon, to the city of Babylon, and to the captive Jews there:
and shalt see them; the captives; or rather the great and populous city of Babylon, its high walls, gates, and towers, whose destruction is foretold in this book, and which might seem incredible. Abarbinel interprets it of his looking into the book given him; which he thinks was not to be opened and looked into till he came to Babylon:
and shalt read all these words; not before the king of Babylon and his princes, and yet not privately to himself; but in some proper place, in the presence of the captive Jews, or the chief of them, convened for that purpose.

read--not in public, for the Chaldeans would not have understood Hebrew; but in private, as is to be inferred from his addressing himself altogether to God (Jeremiah 51:62) [CALVIN].

Shalt read - Probably to the Jews, that were in Babylon.
