Expanded Bible

⁷ ·Also do good things for [^LSeek the peace/security of] the city where I ·sent you as captives [exiled you]. Pray to the Lord for the city where you are living, because ·if good things happen in the city, good things will happen to you also [^Lin its peace/security you will have peace/security].” ⁸ The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: “Don’t let the prophets among you and the ·people who do magic [^Ldiviners] ·fool [deceive] you. Don’t listen to ·their dreams [their/or your dreams that they/or you dream]. ⁹ They are prophesying ·lies [falsehoods] to you, ·saying that their message is from me [^L…in my name]. But I did not send them,” says the Lord.
