Jeremiah 29:4-7 (New International Version)
4
This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried1 into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5
"Build2 houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.
6
Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.3
7
Also, seek4 the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray5 to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
