4 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who are carried away captives, from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat the fruit of them; 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and not decrease. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the LORD for it; for in the peace thereof shall you have peace.
