Isaiah 39
39
CHAPTER 39
1In that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent books and gifts to Hezekiah; for he had heard, that Hezekiah had been sick, and was recovered.
2Forsooth Hezekiah was glad on them, and showed to them the cells of sweet smelling spices, and of silver, and of gold, and of smelling things, and of best ointment, and all the shops of his appurtenance of household, and all things that were found in his treasures; no word was, which Hezekiah showed not to them in his house, and in all his power.
3Soothly Isaiah, the prophet, entered to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far land they came to me, from Babylon.
4And Isaiah said, What saw they in thine house? And Hezekiah said, They saw all things that be in mine house; nothing was in my treasures, which I showed not to them.
5And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear thou the word of the Lord of hosts.
6Lo! days shall come, and all things that be in thine house, and which things thy fathers treasured till to this day, shall be taken away into Babylon; not anything shall be left, saith the Lord.
7And they shall take [away] of thy sons, that shall go out of thee, which thou shalt engender; and they shall be honest servants and chaste in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of the Lord is good, which he spake. And Hezekiah said, Peace and truth be made only in my days.

The Delegation from Babylon
1At that time, Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for#Or “and” he heard that he had been sick and recovered. 2And Hezekiah rejoiced over them and showed them his house of aromatic gum, the silver, gold, spices, good oil, all the house of his weapons, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing that Hezekiah had not shown them in his house or in all his dominion. 3And Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah answered,#Literally “said” “They came to me from a distant country, from Babylon.” 4And he#That is, Isaiah said, “What have they seen in your house?” And Hezekiah answered,#Literally “said” “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing that I have not shown them in my storehouses.”
5And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh of hosts: 6‘Look! days are coming, and all that is in your house and that which your ancestors#Or “fathers” have stored up to this day shall be carried off to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,’ says Yahweh. 7‘And some of your sons who go out from you, whom you fathered, shall be taken, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ” 8And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good,” for#Or “and” he thought,#Literally “said” “Surely there will be peace and security in my days.”
