The verse 5 is found in chapter 29 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah writes to the exiles and instructs them to settle down, build houses, form families, and seek Babylon’s welfare.

The promise of plans for peace and restoration appears within a call to persevere in present reality, not to escape through false expectations.

Bauet Häuser, darin ihr wohnen möget, pflanzet Gärten, daraus ihr Früchte essen möget;
Edificad casas, y morad; y plantad huertos, y comed del fruto de ellos;

Edificai casas e habitai-as; e plantai jardins, e comei o seu fruto.
你們要建造房屋,住在其中;要開墾田園,吃園中所出產的;
