Jeremiah 29:4-14
4This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559 to allH3605 the exilesH1473 who were carried awayH1540 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894: 5“BuildH1129 housesH1004 and settle downH3427. PlantH5193 gardensH1593 and eatH398 their produceH6529. 6TakeH3947 wivesH802 and haveH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. TakeH3947 wivesH802 for your sonsH1121 and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 in marriageH582, so that they too may haveH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. MultiplyH7235 thereH8033; do notH408 decreaseH4591. 7SeekH1875 the prosperityH7965 of the cityH5892 to whichH834 I have sent you as exilesH1540. PrayH6419 toH413 the LORDH3068 on its behalfH1157, forH3588 if it prospersH7965H1961, you too will prosperH7965.”
8ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: “Do notH408 be deceivedH5377 by the prophetsH5030 and divinersH7080 among youH7130, and do notH408 listenH8085 toH413 the dreamsH2472 you elicit from themH859H2492. 9ForH3588 theyH1992 are falsely prophesyingH5012H8267 to you in My nameH8034; I have notH3808 sent themH7971, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.”1
10ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: “WhenH3588H6310 Babylon’sH894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are completeH4390, I will attend toH6485 youH853 and confirmH6965 My promiseH1697H2896 to restoreH7725 youH853 toH413 thisH2088 placeH4725. 11ForH3588 IH595 knowH3045 the plansH4284 IH595 haveH2803 for youH5921, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, plansH4284 to prosper youH7965 and notH3808 to harm youH7451, to giveH5414 you a futureH319 and a hopeH8615. 12Then you will callH7121 upon MeH853 and comeH1980 and prayH6419 to MeH413, and I will listenH8085 to youH413. 13You will seekH1245 MeH853 and find MeH4672 whenH3588 you search for MeH1875 with allH3605 your heartH3824. 14I will be foundH4672 by you, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will restore youH7725 from captivityH76222 and gatherH6908 youH853 from allH3605 the nationsH1471H3605 and placesH4725 to whichH834 I have banished youH5080, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068. I will restoreH7725 you toH413 the placeH4725 from whichH834 I sentH1540 youH853 into exileH8033.”
