◆Bible Jeremiah 29:4-11 preacher Ryohei Adachi
【Message】
4:“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5:Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.
6:Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease.
7: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.
8: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,
9:for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the Lord.
10:“For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place.
11:For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
