Chapter 42 of Jeremiah—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then all the [a]commanders of the forces, 1Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people 2both small and great approached
  2. and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our 3petition [b]come before you, and 4pray for us to the LORD your God, that is for all this remnant; because we are left but a 5few out of many, as your own eyes now see us,
  3. that the LORD your God may tell us the 6way in which we should walk and the thing that we should do.”
  4. Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I am going to 7pray to the LORD your God in accordance with your words; and I will tell you the whole [c]message which the 8LORD will answer you. I will 9not keep back a word from you.”
  5. Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the 10LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with the whole [d]message with which the LORD your God will send you to us.
  6. Whether it is [e]pleasant or [f]unpleasant, we will 11listen to the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go 12well with us when we listen to the voice of the LORD our God.”
  7. ¶ Now at the 13end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.
  8. Then he called for Johanan the son of Kareah and all the [g]commanders of the forces that were with him, and for all the people both small and great,
  9. and said to them, “Thus 14says the LORD the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him:
  10. ‘If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will 15build you up and not tear you down, and I will plant you and not uproot you; for I [h]will 16relent concerning the calamity that I have inflicted on you.
  11. 17Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are now fearing; do not be afraid of him,’ declares the LORD, ‘for 18I am with you to save you and deliver you from his hand.
  12. I will also show you compassion, so that 19he will have compassion on you and restore you to your own soil.
  13. But if you are going to say, “We will 20not stay in this land,” so as not to listen to the voice of the LORD your God,
  14. saying, “No, but we will 21go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war or 22hear the sound of a trumpet or hunger for bread, and we will stay there”;
  15. then [i]in that case listen to the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “If you really set your [j]mind to enter 23Egypt and go in to reside there,
  16. then the 24sword, which you are afraid of, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will follow closely after you there in Egypt, and you will die there.
  17. So all the men who set their [k]mind to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the 25sword, by famine and by pestilence; and they will 26have no survivors or refugees from the calamity that I am going to bring on them.”’”
  18. ¶ For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “As My 27anger and wrath have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a 28curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach; and 29you will see this place no more.”
  19. The LORD has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, “Do not 30go into Egypt!” You should clearly 31understand that today I have 32testified against you.
  20. For you have only [l]33deceived yourselves; for it is you who sent me to the LORD your God, saying, “Pray for us to the LORD our God; and whatever the LORD our God says, tell us so, and we will do it.”
  21. So I have 34told you today, but you have 35not [m]obeyed the LORD your God, even in whatever He has sent me to tell you.
  22. Therefore you should now clearly understand that you will 36die by the sword, by famine and by pestilence, in the 37place where you wish to go to reside.

    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!
