Chapter 39 of Ezekiel—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ “And as regards you, O son of man, prophesy against Gog,1 and you must say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am against you, O Gog, you head chieftain of Meʹshech[a]2 and Tuʹbal.3
  2. And I will turn you around and lead you on4 and cause you to come up from the remotest parts of the north5 and bring you in upon the mountains of Israel.
  3. And I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and your arrows I shall cause to fall out of your own right hand.
  4. On the mountains of Israel you will fall,6 you and all your bands and the peoples that will be with you. To birds of prey, birds of every sort of wing, and the wild beasts of the field I will give you for food.”’7
  5. ¶ “‘Upon the surface of the field you will fall,8 for I myself have spoken,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
  6. ¶ “‘And I will send fire upon Maʹgog[b]9 and upon those who are inhabiting the islands in security;10 and people will have to know that I am Jehovah.
  7. And my holy name I shall make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I shall no more let my holy name be profaned;11 and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,12 the Holy One in Israel.’[c]13
  8. ¶ “‘Look! It must come and it must be brought to be,’14 is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. ‘This is the day of which I have spoken.15
  9. And the inhabitants of the cities of Israel will certainly go forth and burn and build fires with the armor and bucklers and large shields,—with the bows and with the arrows and with the handstaves and with the lances; and with them they will have to light fires16 seven years.
  10. And they will not carry sticks of wood from the field, nor will they gather firewood out of the forests, for with the armor they will light fires.’
    ¶ “‘And they will certainly make spoil of those who had been making spoil of them,17 and plunder those who had been plundering them,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
  11. ¶ “‘And it must occur in that day that I shall give to Gog18 a place there,[d] a burial place in Israel, the valley of those passing through on the east of the sea, and it[e] will be stopping up those passing through. And there they will have to bury Gog and all his crowd, and they will be certain to call [it] the Valley of Gog’s Crowd.[f]19
  12. And those of the house of Israel will have to bury them for the purpose of cleansing the land, for seven months.20
  13. And all the people of the land will have to do the burying, and it will certainly become for them a matter of fame in the day that I glorify myself,’21 is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
  14. ¶ “‘And there will be men[g] for continual [employment] whom they will divide off, passing along through the land, burying, with those passing through,[h] those left remaining on the surface of the earth, in order to cleanse it. To the end of seven months they will keep making search.
  15. And those passing through must pass along through the land, and should one actually see the bone of a man[i] he must also build beside it a marker, until those who do the burying will have buried it in the Valley of Gog’s Crowd.[j]22
  16. And the name of [the] city will also be Ha·moʹnah.[k] And they will have to cleanse the land.’23
  17. ¶ “And as regards you, O son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Say to the birds of every sort of wing and to all the wild beasts of the field:24 “Collect yourselves together and come. Gather yourselves together all around to my sacrifice, which I am sacrificing for YOU, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel.25 And YOU will certainly eat flesh and drink blood.26
  18. The flesh of mighty ones YOU will eat,27 and the blood of the chieftains of the earth YOU will drink, rams, young male sheep,28 and he-goats, young bulls,29 the fatlings of Baʹshan all of them.30
  19. And YOU will be certain to eat fat to satisfaction31 and to drink blood to drunkenness, from my sacrifice that I will sacrifice for YOU.”’
  20. ¶ “‘And YOU must get satisfied at my table on horses and charioteers,[l] mighty persons and all sorts of warriors,’[m] is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.32
  21. ¶ “‘And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations will have to see my judgment that I have executed33 and my hand that I have placed among them.34
  22. And those of the house of Israel will have to know that I am Jehovah their God from that day and forward.35
  23. And the nations will have to know that it was because of their error that they, the house of Israel, went into exile,36 on account of the fact that they behaved unfaithfully toward me, so that I concealed my face from them37 and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they kept falling, all of them, by the sword.38
  24. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I did with them,39 and I kept concealing my face from them.’
  25. ¶ “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Now is when I shall bring back the captive ones of Jacob40 and actually have mercy upon all the house of Israel;41 and I will show exclusive devotion for my holy name.42
  26. And they will have borne their humiliation43 and all their unfaithfulness with which they have acted toward me,44 when they dwell on their soil in security,45 with no one to make [them] tremble.46
  27. When I bring them back from the peoples and I actually collect them together out of the lands of their enemies,47 I will also sanctify myself[n] among them before the eyes of many nations.’48
  28. ¶ “‘And they will have to know that I am Jehovah their God, when I send them in exile to the nations and actually bring them together upon their soil,49 so that I shall leave none of them remaining there any longer.50
  29. And I shall no longer conceal my face from them,51 because I will pour out my spirit upon the house of Israel,’52 is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”

    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!
