Jeremiah 29:4-14

4Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto all that are carried away captivesH1473, whom I have caused to be carried awayH1540 from JerusalemH3389 unto BabylonH894; 5BuildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them; 6TakeH3947 ye wivesH802, and begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323; and takeH3947 wivesH802 for your sonsH1121, and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to husbandsH582, that they may bearH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1121; that ye may be increasedH7235 there, and not diminishedH4591. 7And seekH1875 the peaceH7965 of the cityH5892 whither I have caused you to be carried away captivesH1540, and prayH6419 unto YhwhH3068 for it: for in the peaceH7965 thereof shall ye have peaceH7965.

8For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Let not your prophetsH5030 and your divinersH7080, that be in the midstH7130 of you, deceiveH5377 you, neither hearkenH8085 to your dreamsH2472 which ye cause to be dreamedH2492. 9For they prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 unto you in my nameH8034: I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.1

10For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, That afterH6310 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 be accomplishedH4390 at BabylonH894 I will visitH6485 you, and performH6965 my goodH2896 wordH1697 toward you, in causing you to returnH7725 to this placeH4725. 11For I knowH3045 the thoughtsH4284 that I thinkH2803 toward you, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, thoughtsH4284 of peaceH7965, and not of evilH7451, to giveH5414 you hopeH8615 and a futureH319.2 12Then shall ye callH7121 upon me, and ye shall goH1980 and prayH6419 unto me, and I will hearkenH8085 unto you. 13And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824. 14And I will be foundH4672 of you, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: and I will turn awayH7725 your captivityH7622, and I will gatherH6908 you from all the nationsH1471, and from all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 you, saithH5002 YhwhH3068; and I will bring you againH7725 into the placeH4725 whence I caused you to be carried away captiveH1540.
