Jeremiah 29:7 in Context — Jeremiah 29
5 Bâtissez des maisons, et habitez-les; plantez des jardins, et mangez-en les fruits.
6 Prenez des femmes, et engendrez des fils et des filles; prenez des femmes pour vos fils, et donnez des maris à vos filles, afin qu’elles enfantent des fils et des filles; multipliez là où vous êtes, et ne diminuez pas.
7 Recherchez le bien de la ville où je vous ai menés en captivité, et priez l’Éternel en sa faveur, parce que votre bonheur dépend du sien.
8 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Ne vous laissez pas tromper par vos prophètes qui sont au milieu de vous, et par vos devins, n’écoutez pas vos songeurs dont vous provoquez les songes!
9 Car c’est le mensonge qu’ils vous prophétisent en mon nom. Je ne les ai point envoyés, dit l’Éternel.
