 Jeremiah 29, verse 15-17

A Letter to the Exiles

¹⁵ You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” ¹⁶ but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile— ¹⁷ yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I will make them like figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten. 

15کیونکہ تُم نے کہا کہ خُداوند نے بابل میں ہمارے لِئے نبی برپا کِئے۔ 16اِس لِئے خُداوند اُس بادشاہ کی بابت جو داؤُد کے تخت پر بَیٹھا ہے اور اُن سب لوگوں کی بابت جو اِس شہر میں بستے ہیں یعنی تُمہارے بھائِیوں کی بابت جو تُمہارے ساتھ اسِیر ہو کر نہیں گئے یُوں فرماتا ہے۔ 17ربُّ الافواج یُوں فرماتا ہے کہ دیکھو مَیں اُن پر تلوار اور کال اور وبا بھیجُوں گا اور اُن کو خراب اِنجِیروں کی مانِند بناؤُں گا جو اَیسے خراب ہیں کہ کھانے کے قابِل نہیں۔ 

My point of view about above verses

Jeremiah wrote a letter to priests and people who exiled to Babylon - and told them God says go there and settle in their cities - pray for that city as if the city will prosper, you will prosper - get married and increase in numbers 

God told Jeremiah, tell Israelites that donot trust prophets and diveners and they tell lies on my name 

God told through Jeremiah that go to Babylon and stay there if you will not go i will send famine, pestilence and you will be like rotten fig which can't be eaten 

May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this word and prophets - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
