Jeremiah 29:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Pursue the well-being^[a] of the city I have deported you to. Pray to the Lord on its behalf,^(A) for when it thrives, you will thrive.”

⁸ For this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Don’t let your prophets who are among you^(B) and your diviners deceive you,^(C) and don’t listen to the dreams you elicit from them, ⁹ for they are prophesying falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them.”^(D) This is the Lord’s declaration.
