At the Watch Tower Society's annual meeting on October 5, 2013, a significantly revised translation was released. Referring to the new revision, the publishers stated, "There are now about 10 percent fewer English words in the translation. Some key Biblical terms were revised. Certain chapters were changed to poetic format, and clarifying footnotes were added to the regular edition."<ref>[https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20151215/nwt-bible-2013/ JW.org, "The 2013 Revision of the New World Translation"]</ref>
