Jeremiah 29:4-7
29:4 “The Lord God of Israel who rules over all says to all those he sent into exile to Babylon from Jerusalem,
29:5 ‘Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.
29:6 Marry and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons and allow your daughters get married so that they too can have sons and daughters. Grow in number; do not dwindle away.
29:7 Work to see that the city where I sent you as exiles enjoys peace and prosperity. Pray to the Lord for it. For as it prospers you will prosper.’
