Jeremiah 29:5-7 "But I have carried you into exile... Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decease. Also see the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
