Jeremiah 29:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Build houses, and live in them. Plant gardens, and eat what they produce. ⁶ Get married, and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons, and let your daughters get married so that they can have sons and daughters. Grow in number there; don’t decrease. ⁷ Work for the good of the city where I’ve taken you as captives, and pray to the Lord for that city. When it prospers, you will also prosper.
