Jeremiah 29:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ Work for the good of the cities where I have made you go as prisoners. Pray to me on their behalf, because if they are prosperous, you will be prosperous too. ⁸ I, the Lord, the God of Israel, warn you not to let yourselves be deceived by the prophets who live among you or by any others who claim they can predict the future. Do not pay any attention to their^[a] dreams. ⁹ They are telling you lies in my name. I did not send them. I, the Lord Almighty, have spoken.’
