Jeremiah 29:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ ‘^(A)Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their ^[a]produce. ⁶ Take ^(B)wives 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. ^7 (C)Seek the ^[b]prosperity of the city where I have sent you into exile, and ^(D)pray to the Lord in its behalf; for ^[c]in its ^[d]prosperity will be your ^[e]prosperity.’
