Jeremiah 29:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

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. ⁷ Seek the welfare of the city to which I have caused you to go in exile, and pray to Adonai on its behalf; for your welfare is bound up in its welfare.’
