Jeremiah 29:5-7

New Century Version

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. ⁷ Also do good things for the city where I sent you as captives. 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.”
