Isaiah 39
39
1At that time M’rodakh-Bal’adan [Marduk has given a son], the son of Bal’adan [Bel is lord], king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], sent letters and a present to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength]: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
2And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] 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 armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] showed them not.
3Then came Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the prophet unto king Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], and said unto him, What said these men? and from what place came they unto youi? And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] said, They are come from a far country unto me, [even] from Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
4Then said he, What have they seen in youri house? And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] answered, All that [is] in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
5Then said Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength], Hear the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]:
6Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in youri house, and [that] which youri fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion]: nothing shall be left, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
7And of youri sons that shall issue (what comes forth) from youi, which youi shall beget (to be father of; be ancestor of), shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
8Then said Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] to Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved], Good [is] the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which youi have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and tin my days.

Isaiah 39
39
Hezekiah’s Folly
1At that time#2Kg 20:12–19; 2Ch 32:31 Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah since he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. 2Hezekiah was pleased with the letters, and he showed the envoys his treasure house — the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil — and all his armory, and everything that was found in his treasuries.#2Kg 18:15–16 There was nothing in his palace and in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them.#2Ch 32:25
3Then the prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “What did these men say, and where did they come to you from?”
Hezekiah replied, “They came to me from a distant country, from Babylon.”
4Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your palace?”
Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my palace. There isn’t anything in my treasuries that I didn’t show them.”
5Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord of Armies:#Is 28:14; Zch 7:4; 8:1,18 6‘Look, the days are coming when everything in your palace and all that your predecessors have stored up until today will be carried off to Babylon; nothing will be left,’ says the Lord.#2Kg 24:13; 25:13–15; Jr 20:5 7‘Some of your descendants — who come from you, whom you father — will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”
8Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good,” for he thought: There will be peace and security during my lifetime.#2Ch 32:26
