Chapter 35 of Jeremiah—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ The word that occurred to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Je·hoiʹa·kim1 the son of Jo·siʹah, the king of Judah, saying:
  2. “Go[a] to the house of the Reʹcha·bites,2 and you must speak with them and bring them into the house of Jehovah, to one of the dining rooms; and you must give them wine to drink.”
  3. ¶ So I took Ja·az·a·niʹah the son of Jeremiah the son of Hab·az·zi·niʹah and his brothers, and all his sons, and all the household of the Reʹcha·bites,
  4. and I proceeded to bring them into the house of Jehovah, to the dining room3 of the sons of Haʹnan the son of Ig·da·liʹah,[b] a man of the [true] God,[c] which was beside the dining room of the princes that was above the dining room of Ma·a·seiʹah[d] the son of Shalʹlum4 the doorkeeper.[e]
  5. Then I put before the sons of the house of the Reʹcha·bites cups full of wine and goblets and said to them: “Drink wine.”
  6. ¶ But they said: “We shall drink no wine, because Jonʹa·dab the son of Reʹchab,5 our forefather, was the one that laid the command upon us, saying, ‘YOU must drink no wine, neither YOU nor YOUR sons, to time indefinite.6
  7. And no house must YOU build, and no seed must YOU sow; and no vineyard must YOU plant, nor must it come to be YOURS. But in tents YOU should dwell all YOUR days, in order that YOU may keep living many days upon the surface of the ground where YOU are residing as aliens.’7
  8. So we keep obeying the voice of Je·honʹa·dab[f] the son of Reʹchab our forefather in everything that he commanded8 us by drinking no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons and our daughters,9
  9. and by not building houses for us to dwell in, so that no vineyard or field or seed should become ours.
  10. And we keep dwelling in tents and obeying and doing according to all that Jonʹa·dab10 our forefather commanded us.11
  11. But it came about when Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon came up against the land12 that we began to say, ‘Come, and let us enter into Jerusalem because of the military force of the Chal·deʹans and because of the military force of the Syrians,[g] and let us dwell in Jerusalem.’”13
  12. ¶ And the word of Jehovah proceeded to occur to Jeremiah, saying:
  13. “This is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, has said, ‘Go, and you must say to the men[h] of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: “Did YOU not continually receive exhortation to obey my words?”14 is the utterance of Jehovah.
  14. “There has been a carrying out of the words of Je·honʹa·dab the son of Reʹchab,15 that he commanded his sons, to drink no wine, and they have drunk none down to this day, because they have obeyed the commandment of their forefather.16 And as for me, I have spoken to YOU men, rising up early and speaking,17 but YOU have not obeyed me.18
  15. And I kept sending to YOU all my servants the prophets,19 rising up early and sending [them], saying, ‘Turn back, please, each one from his bad way,20 and make YOUR dealings good,21 and do not walk after other gods to serve them.22 And keep dwelling on the ground that I have given to YOU and to YOUR forefathers.’23 But YOU did not incline YOUR ear, nor did YOU listen to me.24
  16. But the sons of Je·honʹa·dab the son of Reʹchab25 have carried out the commandment of their forefather that he commanded them;26 but as for this people, they have not listened to me.”’”27
  17. ¶ “Therefore this is what Jehovah, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, ‘Here I am bringing upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the calamity that I have spoken against them,28 for the reason that I have spoken to them but they did not listen, and I kept calling to them but they did not answer.’”29
  18. ¶ And to the household of the Reʹcha·bites Jeremiah said: “This is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, has said, ‘For the reason that YOU have obeyed the commandment of Je·honʹa·dab30 YOUR forefather and continue keeping all his commandments and doing according to all that he commanded YOU,31
  19. therefore this is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, has said: “There will not be cut off from Jonʹa·dab the son of Reʹchab a man to stand[i]32 before me always.”’”[j]33

    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!
