Jeremiah 29:5-11

5 aBuild houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and bpray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. 8For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: cDo not let your prophets and dyour diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream,
Hebrew your dreams, which you cause to dream
9for fit is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; gI did not send them, declares the Lord.

10For thus says the Lord: hWhen seventy years are completed for Babylon, iI will visit you, jand I will fulfill to you my promise kand bring you back to this place. 11 lFor I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare
Or peace
and not for evil, nto give you a future and a hope.
