Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.39
[1] At that time Merodach-baladan, 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.
[2] And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed 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 Hezekiah
shewed them not.
[3] Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and
said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they
unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country
unto me, even from Babylon.
[4] Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And
Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen:
there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed
them.
[5] Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the
LORD of hosts:
[6] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine
house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until
this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left,
saith the LORD.
[7] And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou
shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in
the palace of the king of Babylon.
[8] Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the
LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be
peace and truth in my days.
