Isaiah 39

1At that timeH6256 Merodach-baladan the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a present to HezekiahH2396; for he heardH8085 that he had been sickH2470, and was recovered.

2And HezekiahH2396 wasH1961 gladH8055 of them, and showedH7200 them the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH1697, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the precious oilH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armorH3627, and all that wasH1961 foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there wasH1961 nothing in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 showedH7200 them not.

3Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 unto him, What saidH559 these menH376? and from whence cameH935 they unto thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They are comeH935 from a farH7350 country unto me, even from BabylonH894.

4Then saidH559 he, What have they seenH7200 in thy houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answered, All that is in my houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothing among my treasuresH214 that I have not showedH7200 them.

5Then saidH559 IsaiahH3470 to HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah of hostsH6635:

6Behold, the daysH3117 are comingH935, when all that is in thy houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in store until this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothing shall be leftH3498, saith Jehovah.

7And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they takeH3947 awayH3947; and they shall beH1961 eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.

8Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 unto IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of Jehovah which thou hast spokenH1696. He saidH559 moreover, For there shall beH1961 peaceH7965 and truthH571 in my daysH3117.
