Jeremiah 29:28

For he has sent to us in Babylon , saying , Your exile will be long ; build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their produce .

He has sent this message to us in Babylon: It will be a long time. Therefore build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.`”

For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long : build ye houses, and dwell in them ; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
