This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: JEREMIAH 29:4

Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. JEREMIAH 29:7
