Chapter 32 of Jeremiah—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the 1tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
  2. Now at that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the 2court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judah,
  3. because Zedekiah king of Judah had 3shut him up, saying, “Why do you 4prophesy, saying, ‘5Thus says the LORD, “Behold, I am about to 6give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
  4. and Zedekiah king of Judah will 7not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will 8speak with him [a]face to face and see him eye to eye;
  5. and he will 9take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” declares the LORD. “If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will 10not succeed”’?”
  6. ¶ And Jeremiah said, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
  7. ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, “Buy for yourself my field which is at 11Anathoth, for you have the 12right of redemption to buy it.”’
  8. Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the 13court of the guard according to the word of the LORD and said to me, ‘Buy my field, please, that is at 14Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the 15word of the LORD.
  9. ¶ “I bought the field which was at Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and I 16weighed out the silver for him, seventeen 17shekels of silver.
  10. I [b]18signed and 19sealed the deed, and 20called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
  11. Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the 21terms and conditions and the open copy;
  12. and I gave the deed of purchase to 22Baruch the son of 23Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my uncle’s son and in the sight of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, before all the Jews who were sitting in the court of the guard.
  13. And I commanded Baruch in their presence, saying,
  14. ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, that they may [c]last a long time.”
  15. For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “24Houses and fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”’
  16. ¶ “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, then I 25prayed to the LORD, saying,
  17. ‘26Ah Lord [d]GOD! Behold, You have 27made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! 28Nothing is too difficult for You,
  18. who 29shows lovingkindness to thousands, but 30repays the iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their children after them, O 31great and 32mighty God. The 33LORD of hosts is His name;
  19. 34great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose 35eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, 36giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds;
  20. who has 37set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day both in Israel and among mankind; and You have 38made a name for Yourself, as at this day.
  21. You 39brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders, and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with great terror;
  22. and gave them this land, which You 40swore to their forefathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
  23. They 41came in and took possession of it, but they 42did not obey Your voice or 43walk in Your law; they have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have made 44all this calamity come upon them.
  24. Behold, the 45siege ramps have reached the city to take it; and the city is 46given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the 47sword, the famine and the pestilence; and what You have spoken has 48come to pass; and behold, You see it.
  25. You have said to me, O Lord [e]GOD, “Buy for yourself the field with money and call in witnesses”—although the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’”
  26. ¶ Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
  27. “Behold, I am the LORD, the 49God of all flesh; is anything 50too difficult for Me?”
  28. Therefore thus says the LORD, “Behold, I am about to 51give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
  29. The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will enter and 52set this city on fire and burn it, with the 53houses where people have offered incense to Baal on their roofs and poured out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
  30. Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only 54evil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only 55provoking Me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares the LORD.
  31. “Indeed this city has been to Me a 56provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be 57removed from before My face,
  32. because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their 58kings, their leaders, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
  33. They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, [f]59teaching again and again, they would not listen [g]and receive instruction.
  34. But they 60put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.
  35. They built the 61high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to 62Molech, which I had not commanded them nor had it [h]entered My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
  36. ¶ “Now therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning this city of which you say, ‘It is 63given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine and by pestilence.’
  37. Behold, I will 64gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in My anger, in My wrath and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and 65make them dwell in safety.
  38. They shall be 66My people, and I will be their God;
  39. and I will 67give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own 68good and for the good of their children after them.
  40. I will make an 69everlasting covenant with them that I will 70not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will 71put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.
  41. I will 72rejoice over them to do them good and will [i]faithfully 73plant them in this land with 74all My heart and with all My soul.
  42. For thus says the LORD, ‘75Just as I brought all this great disaster on this people, so I am going to 76bring on them all the good that I am promising them.
  43. 77Fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “78It is a desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
  44. Men will buy fields for money, [j]79sign and seal deeds, and call in witnesses in the 80land of Benjamin, in the environs of Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland and in the cities of the [k]Negev; for I will 81restore their [l]fortunes,’ declares the LORD.”

    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

    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!
