“What a way to welfare, that hated Babylon is the place of well-being. Thus exile is not only the place of unexpected word. It is also the place of unexpected unacceptable vocation—exiles seeking welfare for others! Seek only justice and righteousness, even in anxiety, and get the kingdom (Matt 6:33). Seek shalom, and you’ll get the land” ~Walter Brueggemann reflecting on Jeremiah 29:7 in The Land: Place As Gift, Promise, and Challenge in Biblical Faith
