Jeremiah 29:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 Pray for peace in Babylonia and work hard to make it prosperous. The more successful that nation is, the better off you will be.
8-9 Some of your people there in Babylonia are fortunetellers, and you have asked them to tell you what will happen in the future. But they will only lead you astray with their dreams.[a] And don't let the prophets fool you, either. They speak in my name, but they are liars. I have not spoken to them.
