3 [Enviada] pela mão de Elasá, filho de Safã, e de Gemarias, filho de Hilquias, os quais Zedequias rei de Judá enviou a Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia, dizendo:

4 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, a todos os levados cativos, os quais fiz transportar de Jerusalém à Babilônia:

5 Edificai casas, e [nelas] habitai; plantai hortas, e comei o fruto delas.

6 Tomai esposas, e gerai filhos e filhas, e tomai esposas para vossos filhos, e dai vossas filhas a homens, para que gerem filhos e filhas; e ali multiplicai-vos, e não vos diminuais.

7 E buscai a paz da cidade para onde eu vos levei, e orai por ela ao SENHOR; porque na paz dela vós tereis paz.
