Isaiah 39

39:1In that time Merodach Baladan the son of Baladan the king of Babylonia sent letters, and ambassadors, and gifts to Hezekiah; for he heard that he was infirm unto death, and was raised up.

39:2And Hezekiah rejoiced over them with a great joy. And he showed to them the house of the spices, and of the silver, and of the gold, and of the balsam, and of the incenses, and of the perfumed liquid, and all the houses of the items of the treasury, and all as much as was in his treasuries. And there was not one thing which Hezekiah did not show to them in his house.

39:3And Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and he said to him, What did these men say? And from what place have they come to you? And Hezekiah said, From a land at a distance -- they have come to me from Babylon.

39:4And Isaiah said, What did they see in your house? And Hezekiah said, All the things in my house they beheld; and there is not anything in my house which they did not behold; but even the things in my treasuries.

39:5And Isaiah said to him, Hear the word of the lord of Hosts!

39:6Behold, days come, and they shall take all the things in your house; even as much as your fathers brought together until this day -- it shall come unto Babylon, and not one thing in any way shall be left behind. and God said,

39:7that, Also of your children whom you engendered they shall take; and they shall be made castrati in the house of the king of the Babylonians.

39:8And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, the word of the lord is good which you spoke; let there be indeed peace and righteousness in my days!
