⁶ ·Get married [^LTake wives] and have sons and daughters. ·Find [^LTake] wives for your sons, and let your daughters be married so they also may have sons and daughters. ·Have many children in Babylon [^LMultiply there]; don’t become fewer in number. ⁷ ·Also do good things for [^LSeek the peace/security of] the city where I ·sent you as captives [exiled you]. Pray to the Lord for the city where you are living, because ·if good things happen in the city, good things will happen to you also [^Lin its peace/security you will have peace/security].” ⁸ The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: “Don’t let the prophets among you and the ·people who do magic [^Ldiviners] ·fool [deceive] you. Don’t listen to ·their dreams [their/or your dreams that they/or you dream].
