Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

The verse 6 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 exile will last for a determined period, but it does not mean permanent abandonment. The promise of plans for peace and restoration appears within a call to persevere in present reality, not to escape through false expectations.

Casaos, y engendrad hijos e hijas; dad mujeres a vuestros hijos, y dad maridos a vuestras hijas, para que paran hijos e hijas; y multiplicaos ahí, y no os hagáis pocos.
Tomen esposas y tengan hijos e hijas. Busquen esposas para sus hijos y den sus hijas en matrimonio, para que tengan hijos e hijas. Multiplíquense allí y no disminuyan.
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.
Prendete mogli, e generate figliuoli e figliuole; prendete eziandio mogli per li vostri figliuoli, e date a marito le vostre figliuole, e partoriscano figliuoli e figliuole; e moltiplicate quivi, e non diminuite.
Tomai mulheres e gerai filhos e filhas, e tomai mulheres para vossos filhos, e dai vossas filhas a maridos, para que tenham filhos e filhas; e multiplicai-vos ali, e não vos diminuais.
