Jeremiah 29:4-6

Complete Jewish Bible

⁴ “Here is what Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el, says to all those in exile, whom I have caused to be carried off captive from Yerushalayim to Bavel: ⁵ ‘Build yourselves houses, and live in them. Plant gardens, and eat what they produce. ⁶ Choose women to marry, and have sons and daughters. Choose wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage to men, so that they can have sons and daughters — increase your numbers there, don’t decrease.
