Jeremiah 29:1-7

1Now theseH428 are the wordsH1697 of the letterH5612 that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 unto the residue of the eldersH2205 of the captivityH1540, and to the priestsH3548, and to the prophetsH5030, and to allH3605 the peopleH5971, whomH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 had carriedH1540 awayH7971 captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894:

2(afterH310 that JeconiahH3204 the kingH4428, and the queen-mother, and the eunuchsH5631, and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and the craftsmenH2796, and the smithsH4525, were departedH3318 from JerusalemH3389;)

3by the handH3027 of ElasahH501 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, (whomH834 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 unto BabylonH894 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894,) sayingH559,

4ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto allH3605 the captivityH1540, whomH834 I have causedH430 to be carriedH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540 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 husbandsH376, that they may bearH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323; and multiplyH7235 ye there, and be notH408 diminishedH4591.

7And seekH1875 the peaceH7965 of the cityH5892 whither I have causedH1961 youH834 to be carriedH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540, and prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068 for it: for in the peaceH7965 thereof shall ye have peaceH7965.
