Isaias (Isaiah) 39
39
1AT that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.
2And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming: and he shewed them the storehouses of his aromatical spices and of the silver and of the gold and of the sweet odours and of the precious ointment, and all the storehouses of his furniture, and all things that were found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Ezechias shewed them not.
3Then Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and said to him: What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And Ezechias said: From a far country they came to me, from Babylon
4And he said: What saw they in thy house? And Ezechias said: All things that are in my house have they seen. There was not any thing which I have not shewn them in my treasures.
5And Isaias said to Ezechias: Hear the word of the Lord of hosts.
6Behold, the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried away into Babylon: there shall not any thing be left, saith the Lord.
7And of thy children, that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away: and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8And Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which he hath spoken, is good. And he said: Only let peace and truth be in my days.

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.

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.”
