“29:1-32 This chapter records correspondence between Jeremiah in Jerusalem and the exiles in Babylon. The exiles had been deceived by false prophets (vv. 21, 27-31) and had refused to accept Jeremiah’s earlier word (cf. Jer. 25:11). They were living as if they were not going to be in Babylon the full seventy years. Jeremiah reaffirmed that the exile would last seventy years and challenged the people to accept it and live accordingly. The Lord even told the people to pray for his blessing to be upon Babylon (v. 7).
The Jews did not lose their national identity during the exile. Over one hundred years later, they were still a distinct element in the Persian Empire (Esth. 3:8).” (HEBREW-GREEK KEY WORD® STUDY BIBLE) (ESV) (English Standard Version) (AMG Publishers)

Message to the Exiles
29 Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders in exile and to the priests, the prophets and all the people whom [a]Nebuchadnezzar had taken into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes (court officials) of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.) 3 The letter was hand-carried by Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying, 4 “So says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captives whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, 5 ‘Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there and do not decrease [in number]. 7 Seek peace and well-being for the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its peace (well-being) you will have peace.’ 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your [false] prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you; pay no attention and attach no significance to the dreams which they dream or to yours, 9 for they prophesy falsely to you in My Name. I have not sent them,’ says the Lord.
