⁵ ‘Build yourselves houses to dwell in. And plant yourselves gardens and eat the fruits of them.

⁶ ‘Take wives for yourselves and beget sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters, so that you may be increased there and not diminished.

⁷ ‘And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives. And pray to the LORD for it. For in its peace shall you have peace.’
