6 Marry 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; do not decrease.(A) 7 Also, seek(B) the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray(C) to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets(D) and diviners among you deceive(E) you. Do not listen to the dreams(F) you encourage them to have.(G)
