Yirmiyahu sends a letter to the captives already in Bavel, instructing them to build houses, plant gardens, marry, and seek the peace of the city where they are exiled. He warns them not to listen to false prophets promising a quick return. He reaffirms the promise of restoration after 70 years. He also predicts the gruesome execution of two false prophets by the king of Bavel.
