Chapter 52 of Jeremiah—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. 1Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was [a]2Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of 3Libnah.
  2. He did 4evil in the sight of the LORD like all that 5Jehoiakim had done.
  3. For through the 6anger of the LORD this came about in Jerusalem and Judah until He cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah 7rebelled against the king of Babylon.
  4. 8Now it came about in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, camped against it and built a 9siege wall all around [b]it.
  5. 10So the city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
  6. On the ninth day of the 11fourth month the 12famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
  7. Then the city was 13broken into, and all the 14men of war fled and went forth from the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were [c]15all around the city. And they went by way of the Arabah.
  8. But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and 16overtook Zedekiah in the [d]plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him.
  9. Then they captured the king and 17brought him up to the king of Babylon at 18Riblah in the land of 19Hamath, and he [e]passed sentence on him.
  10. The king of Babylon 20slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also slaughtered all the [f]princes of Judah in Riblah.
  11. Then he 21blinded the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon and put him in prison until the day of his death.
  12. 22Now on the tenth day of the fifth month, which was the 23nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, 24Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, [g]who was in the service of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
  13. He 25burned the house of the LORD, the 26king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every large house he burned with fire.
  14. So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard 27broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
  15. Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard 28carried away into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, the [h]29deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon and the rest of the artisans.
  16. But 30Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and [i]plowmen.
  17. ¶ Now the bronze 31pillars which belonged to the house of the LORD and the 32stands and the bronze 33sea, which were in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried all their bronze to Babylon.
  18. They also took away the 34pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the [j]pans and all the bronze vessels which were used in temple service.
  19. The captain of the guard also took away the 35bowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the [k]pans and the drink offering bowls, what was fine gold and what was fine silver.
  20. The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under [l]the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD—the bronze of all these vessels was 36beyond weight.
  21. As for the pillars, the 37height of each pillar was eighteen [m]cubits, and [n]it was twelve cubits in 38circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow.
  22. Now a 39capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and 40pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates.
  23. There were ninety-six [o]exposed pomegranates; all 41the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.
  24. ¶ Then the captain of the guard took 42Seraiah the chief priest and 43Zephaniah the second priest, with the three [p]44officers of the temple.
  25. He also took from the city one official who was overseer of the men of war, and seven [q]of the 45king’s advisers who were found in the city, and the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city.
  26. Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and 46brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
  27. Then the king of Babylon 47struck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was 48led away into exile from its land.
  28. ¶ These are the people whom 49Nebuchadnezzar carried away into exile: in the [r]seventh year 3,023 Jews;
  29. in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar 832 persons from Jerusalem;
  30. in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, 50Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile 745 Jewish people; there were 4,600 persons in all.
  31. 51Now it came about in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that [s]Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, [t]52showed favor to Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.
  32. 53Then he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were with him in Babylon.
  33. So [u]Jehoiachin 54changed his prison clothes, and [v]55had his meals in [w]the king’s presence regularly all the days of his life.
  34. For his allowance, a 56regular allowance was given him by the king of Babylon, a daily portion all the days of his life until the day of his death.

    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!
