Jeremiah 29:5 YLT

³  By the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkijah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon -- to Babylon, saying,

⁴  'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the removal that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,

⁵  Build ye houses, and abide; and plant ye gardens, and eat their fruit;

⁶  Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take for your sons wives, and your daughters give to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and ye are not few;

⁷  And seek the peace of the city whither I have removed you, and pray for it unto Jehovah, for in its peace ye have peace.
