Isaiah 39
- 1At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah. For he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
- 2And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, or in all his rule, that Hezekiah did not show them.
- 3Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men? And from where did they come to you? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.
- 4Then he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
- 5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of Hosts:
- 6The days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, says the Lord.
- 7And of your sons who shall issue from you, which you shall have, shall they take away. They shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
- 8Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have spoken. He said also, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
