In a previous thread, Rosa asked for scans of Jer 29:10 from the 2003 Swedish NWT and from the Dutch NWT.
I have provided a scan of the page from Swedish NWT at:
http://au.geocities.com/doug_mason1940/Jer_29-10_Swedish_2003_NWT.pdf
Please note that the file has two pages -- the Title page and the page with Jer 29:10.
I give you my word that this is the page referred to by COJ.
I will provide a scan of the page from the Dutch NWT when I receive it.

Dear Doug,
Thanks. But I guess you mean the Danish (not Dutch) NWT.
Now, this is a (more or less) word-for-word translation (Swedish -> English) of the Swedish edition of Jer 29:20:
"Because this is what Jehovah has said: 'When seventy years have gone for Babylon shall I turn my attention to you, and I shall towards you confirm my good word through taking you back to this place'"

My translation of the same text :), almost the same as Augustin’s, that makes me wonder r you from sweden august? Thus, this is what Jehovah has said: When 70 years have passed for Babylon, i shall turn my attention to you, and I shall toward you fortify my good words by taking you back to this place.
Not from 'Sverige', but able to read 'svenska' :) Thanks for your more accurate translation.

Jeremia 29: 10 ”Ty detta är vad Jehova har sagt: ’När sjuttio år har gått för Babylon skall jag vända min uppmärksamhet till er, och jag skall gentemot er befästa mitt goda ord genom att föra er tillbaka till denna plats.’
Word-for-word translation of Jeremiah 29.10 (see AnnoMalys post above):
For this is what Jehovah has said: When 70 years have passed for Babylon shall I turn my attention to you, and I shall towards you confirm my good word by leading you back to this place.
Augustin,
Yes, you are correct. I should have written "Danish".
Please excuse my brain fade.
