“The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel says to all those he sent into exile to Babylon from Jerusalem,
‘Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.
Marry and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons and allow your daughters to get married so that they too can have sons and daughters. Grow in number; do not dwindle away.
Work to see that the city where I sent you as exiles enjoys peace and prosperity. Pray to the LORD for it. For as it prospers you will prosper.’
“For the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel says,‘Do not let the prophets among you or those who claim to be able to predict the future by divination deceive you. And do not pay any attention to the dreams that you are encouraging them to dream.
They are prophesying lies to you and claiming my authority to do so. But I did not send them. I, the LORD, affirm it!’
“For the LORD says,‘Only when the seventy years of Babylonian rule are over will I again take up consideration for you. Then I will fulfill my gracious promise to you and restore you to your homeland.
