Jeremiah 29:6-8
New English Translation

6 Marry and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons and allow your daughters to get married so that they too can have sons and daughters. Grow in number; do not dwindle away. 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.’

8 “For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,[a] says, ‘Do not let the prophets among you or those who claim to be able to predict the future by divination[b] deceive you. And do not pay any attention to the dreams that you are encouraging them to dream.
