Jeremiah 29:7-9
New English Translation

7 Work to see that the city where I sent you as exiles enjoys peace and prosperity. Pray to the Lord for it. For as it prospers you will prosper.’

8 “For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,[a] says, ‘Do not let the prophets among you or those who claim to be able to predict the future by divination[b] deceive you. And do not pay any attention to the dreams that you are encouraging them to dream. 9 They are prophesying lies to you and claiming my authority to do so.[c] But I did not send them. I, the Lord, affirm it!’[d]
