The Book of Isaiah 39

39 At that time Marduk-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and had recovered. 2 And Hezekiah was pleased by them, and he showed them the storehouse of his valuables—the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil, and the whole storehouse of his weapons, and all that was found in his treasures. There was not a thing in his house or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.

3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say to you, and where did they come from?”

And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a distant land, from Babylon.”

4 And Isaiah said, “What have they seen in your house?”

And Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything that is in my house. There is not a thing that I have not shown them in my treasures.”

5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of Yahweh of hosts: 6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when everything that is in your house and that your fathers stored away until this day will be carried to Babylon. Not a thing will be left, says Yahweh. 7 And from the sons whom you have brought forth from yourself, whom you have fathered, they will take away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ”

8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh that you have spoken is good.” And he said, “For there will be peace and stability in my days.”
