⁴ “The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those people whom he allowed Nebuchadnezzar to take away as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylonia: ⁵ ‘Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what you grow in them. ⁶ Marry and have children. Then let your children get married, so that they also may have children. You must increase in numbers and not decrease.
