Jeremiah 29:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ “Thus has the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, spoken to all who are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away captives from Jerusalem to Babel:

⁵ ‘Build yourselves houses to dwell in. And plant yourselves gardens and eat the fruits of them.

⁶ ‘Take wives for yourselves and beget sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters, so that you may be increased there and not diminished.
