Chapter 26 of Ezekiel—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me saying,
  2. “Son of man, because 1Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the 2gateway of the peoples is broken; it has [a]3opened to me. I shall be filled, now that she is laid waste,’
  3. therefore thus says the Lord [b]GOD, ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up 4many nations against you, as the 5sea brings up its waves.
  4. They will 6destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her debris from her and make her a bare rock.
  5. She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘and she will become 7spoil for the nations.
  6. Also her 8daughters who are [c]on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.’”
  7. ¶ For thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 9king of kings, with horses, 10chariots, cavalry and [d]a great army.
  8. He will slay your daughters [e]on the mainland with the sword; and he will make 11siege walls against you, cast up a 12ramp against you and raise up a large shield against you.
  9. The blow of his battering rams he will direct against your walls, and with his [f]axes he will break down your towers.
  10. Because of the multitude of his 13horses, the dust raised by them will cover you; your walls will 14shake at the noise of cavalry and [g]wagons and chariots when he 15enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.
  11. With the hoofs of his 16horses he will trample all your streets. He will slay your people with the sword; and your strong pillars will 17come down to the ground.
  12. Also they will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your 18merchandise, 19break down your walls and destroy your 20pleasant houses, and [h]throw your stones and your timbers and your debris 21into the water.
  13. So I will [i]silence the sound of your 22songs, and the sound of your 23harps will be heard no more.
  14. I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be 24built no more, for I the 25LORD have spoken,” declares the Lord GOD.
  15. ¶ Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre, “Shall not the 26coastlands 27shake at the sound of your fall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter occurs in your midst?
  16. Then all the princes of the sea will 28go down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will 29clothe themselves with [j]trembling; they will sit on the ground, 30tremble every moment and be appalled at you.
  17. They will take up a 31lamentation over you and say to you,
    ¶ ‘32How you have perished, O inhabited one,
    From the seas, O renowned city,
    Which was 33mighty on the sea,
    She and her inhabitants,
    Who [k]imposed [l]her terror
    On all her inhabitants!
  18. ‘Now the 34coastlands will tremble
    On the day of your fall;
    Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea
    Will be terrified at your 35passing.’”
  19. ¶ For thus says the Lord GOD, “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I 36bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,
  20. then I will bring you down with those who 37go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the 38lower parts of the earth, like the ancient waste places, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not [m]be inhabited; but I will set 39glory in the land of the living.
  21. I will [n]bring 40terrors on you and you will be no more; though you will be sought, 41you will never be found again,” declares the Lord GOD.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
