Jeremiah 29:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ The Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says this to all the exiles whom I have deported from Jerusalem to Babylon.

⁵ Build houses and settle in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit. ⁶ Get married 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, and do not decrease in number.
