Chapter 29 of Ezekiel—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth [day] of the month, the word of Jehovah occurred to me, saying:
  2. “Son of man, set your face against Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt1 and prophesy against him and against Egypt in its entirety.2
  3. Speak, and you must say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am against you, O Pharʹaoh, king of Egypt,3 the great sea monster4 lying stretched out in the midst of his Nile canals,5 that has said, ‘My Nile River belongs to me, and I—I have made [it] for myself.’6
  4. And I will put hooks[a] in your jaws7 and cause the fish of your Nile canals to cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of your Nile canals and all the fish of your Nile canals that cling to your very scales.
  5. And I will abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your Nile canals.8 Upon the surface of the field you will fall.9 You will not be gathered up nor be collected together. To the wild beasts of the earth and to the flying creatures of the heavens I will give you for food.10
  6. And all the inhabitants of Egypt will have to know that I am Jehovah,11 for the reason that they[b] proved to be, as a support, a reed to the house of Israel.12
  7. When they took hold of you by the hand,[c] you got to be crushed,13 and you caused a split in their entire shoulder.[d] And when they supported themselves upon you, you got to be broken,14 and you caused all their hips to wobble.”[e]15
  8. ¶ “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am bringing upon you a sword,16 and I will cut off from you earthling man and domestic animal.17
  9. And the land of Egypt must become a desolate waste and a devastated place;18 and they will have to know that I am Jehovah, for the reason that he has said, ‘To me the Nile River belongs, and I myself have made [it].’19
  10. Therefore here I am against you and against your Nile canals,20 and I will make the land of Egypt devastated places, dryness, a desolated waste,21 from Migʹdol22 to Sy·eʹne[f]23 and to the boundary of E·thi·oʹpi·a.[g]
  11. There will not pass through it the foot of earthling man,24 nor will the foot of domestic animal pass through it,25 and for forty years it will not be inhabited.26
  12. And I will make the land of Egypt a desolate waste in the midst of desolated lands;27 and its own cities will become a desolate waste in the very midst of devastated cities for forty years;28 and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.”29
  13. ¶ “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “At the end of forty years30 I shall collect the Egyptians together out of the peoples among whom they will have been scattered,31
  14. and I will bring back the captive group of the Egyptians; and I will bring them back to the land of Pathʹros,32 to the land of their origin, and there they must become a lowly kingdom.
  15. Lower than the [other] kingdoms it will become, and it will no more lift itself up over the [other] nations,33 and I will make them so few as not to have the [other] nations in subjection.34
  16. And it will no more prove to be the house of Israel’s confidence,35 bringing error to remembrance by their turning after them.36 And they will have to know that I am the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”’”
  17. ¶ Now it came about in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first [day] of the month, that the word of Jehovah occurred to me, saying:
  18. “Son of man, Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar himself,37 the king of Babylon,[h] made his military force perform a great service against Tyre.38 Every head was one made bald, and every shoulder was one rubbed bare.39 But as for wages,40 there proved to be none for him and his military force from Tyre for the service that he had performed against her.
  19. ¶ “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Here I am giving to Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon the land of Egypt,41 and he must carry off its wealth and make a big spoil of it42 and do a great deal of plundering of it; and it must become wages for his military force.’
  20. ¶ “‘As his compensation for service that he did against her I have given him the land of Egypt, because they acted for me,’43 is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
  21. ¶ “In that day I shall cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel,44 and to you I shall give occasion to open the mouth in the midst of them;45 and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.”

    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!
