4 The Lord of hosts, God of Israel, saith these things to all the passing over, which I translated from Jerusalem into Babylon,
5 Build ye houses, and inhabit, and plant ye orchards, and eat ye [the] fruit of them;
6 take ye wives, and engender ye sons and daughters, and give ye wives to your sons, and give ye your daughters to husbands, and bear they sons and daughters; and be ye multiplied there, and do not ye be few in number.
7 And seek ye [the] peace of the cities, to which I made you to pass over; and pray ye the Lord for it, for in the peace thereof shall be peace to you.
