Jeremiah 29:1-10

Now these [are] the words
<01697>

of the letter
<05612>

that Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

sent
<07971> (8804)

from Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the residue
<03499>

of the elders
<02205>

which were carried away captives
<01473>_,

and to the priests
<03548>_,

and to the prophets
<05030>_,

and to all the people
<05971>

whom Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

had carried away captive
<01540> (8689)

from Jerusalem
<03389>

to Babylon
<0894>_;

(After
<0310>

that Jeconiah
<03204>

the king
<04428>_,

and the queen
<01377>_,

and the eunuchs
<05631>_,

the princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and the carpenters
<02796>_,

and the smiths
<04525>_,

were departed
<03318> (8800)

from Jerusalem
<03389>;)

{eunuchs: or, chamberlains}

By the hand
<03027>

of Elasah
<0501>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Gemariah
<01587>

the son
<01121>

of Hilkiah
<02518>_,

(whom Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

sent
<07971> (8804)

unto Babylon
<0894>

to Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>)

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

unto all that are carried away captives
<01473>_,

whom I have caused to be carried away
<01540> (8689)

from Jerusalem
<03389>

unto Babylon
<0894>_;

Build
<01129> (8798)

ye houses
<01004>_,

and dwell
<03427> (8798)

[in them]; and plant
<05193> (8798)

gardens
<01593>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

the fruit
<06529>

of them;

Take
<03947> (8798)

ye wives
<0802>_,

and beget
<03205> (8685)

sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01323>_;

and take
<03947> (8798)

wives
<0802>

for your sons
<01121>_,

and give
<05414> (8798)

your daughters
<01323>

to husbands
<0582>_,

that they may bear
<03205> (8799)

sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01121>_;

that ye may be increased
<07235> (8798)

there, and not diminished
<04591> (8799)_.

And seek
<01875> (8798)

the peace
<07965>

of the city
<05892>

whither I have caused you to be carried away captives
<01540> (8689)_,

and pray
<06419> (8690)

unto the LORD
<03068>

for it: for in the peace
<07965>

thereof shall ye have peace
<07965>_.

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Let not your prophets
<05030>

and your diviners
<07080> (8802)_,

that [be] in the midst
<07130>

of you, deceive
<05377> (8686)

you, neither hearken
<08085> (8799)

to your dreams
<02472>

which ye cause to be dreamed
<02492> (8688)_.

For they prophesy
<05012> (8737)

falsely
<08267>

unto you in my name
<08034>_:

I have not sent
<07971> (8804)

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{falsely: Heb. in a lie}

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

That after
<06310>

seventy
<07657>

years
<08141>

be accomplished
<04390> (8800)

at Babylon
<0894>

I will visit
<06485> (8799)

you, and perform
<06965> (8689)

my good
<02896>

word
<01697>

toward you, in causing you to return
<07725> (8687)

to this place
<04725>_.
