What a group of ancient people were told to do in a foreign land. “Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. ... multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 29:5-9 #jeremiah #bible Shared using AndBible: Bible Study.
