Jeremiah 29:3-6
3The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of 1Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,
4“This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles whom I have 2sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5‘3Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their 4produce.
6Take 5wives and father sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may give birth to sons and daughters; and grow in numbers there and do not decrease.
