Jeremiah 29:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says to all those people I sent away from Jerusalem as captives to Babylon: ⁵ “Build houses and settle in the land. Plant gardens and eat the food they grow. ⁶ Get married and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons, and let your daughters be married so they also may have sons and daughters. Have many children in Babylon; don’t become fewer in number.
