And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

The verse 7 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.

Suchet der Stadt Bestes, dahin ich euch habe lassen wegführen, und betet für sie zum HERRN; denn wenn's ihr wohl geht, so geht's auch euch wohl.
Y procurad la paz de la ciudad a la cual os hice traspasar, y rogad por ella a Jehová; porque en su paz tendréis vosotros paz.
Busquen la paz de la ciudad adonde los he desterrado y oren por ella a Jehová, porque en su paz ustedes tendrán paz.
Recherchez le bien de la ville où je vous ai menés en captivité, et priez l'Eternel en sa faveur, parce que votre bonheur dépend du sien.
E procacciate la pace della città, dove io vi ho fatti andare in cattività; e pregate il Signore per essa: perciocchè nella pace di essa voi avrete pace
E procurai a paz da cidade, para onde vos fiz transportar em cativeiro, e orai por ela ao SENHOR; porque na sua paz vós tereis paz.
我使你們被擄到的那城,你們要為那城求平安,為那城向耶和華祈求,因為那城得平安,你們也隨著得平安。
