4 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have ^asent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, 5 ‘^aBuild houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take ^awives and ¹become the fathers of sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there and do not decrease. 7 ^aSeek the peace of the city where I have sent you into exile, and ^bpray to Yahweh on its behalf; for in its peace you will have peace.’
