Jeremiah 29:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ He says, ‘Build houses for yourselves. Make Babylon your home. Plant gardens. Eat the food that grows in them. ⁶ Marry, so that you have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons to marry. Let your daughters marry too. Then they also can give birth to sons and daughters. Your descendants should become more and more, not fewer. ⁷ Work well to help the foreign place where I have sent you to live. Try to make it a successful place. Pray to the Lord that it will do well. If it does well, you will also do well.’
