2 Kings 20:12-19

121At that timeH6256 2Berodach-baladanH1255 a sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 to HezekiahH2396, for he heardH8085 that HezekiahH2396 had beenH2470 sickH2470. 13HezekiahH2396 listenedH8085 to them, and showedH7200 them 3allH3605 his treasureH5238 houseH1004, the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the spicesH1314 and the preciousH2896 oilH8081 and the houseH1004 of his armorH3627 and allH3605 that was foundH4672 in his treasuriesH214. There was nothingH3808H1697 in his houseH1004 norH3808 in allH3605 his dominionH4475 that HezekiahH2396 did not showH7200 them. 14Then IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 cameH935 to KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 and saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 did theseH428 menH376 sayH559, and from whereH370 have they comeH935 to you?” And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, “They have comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776, from BabylonH894.” 15He saidH559, “WhatH4100 have they seenH7200 in your houseH1004?” So HezekiahH2396 4answeredH559, “They have seenH7200 allH3605 that is in my houseH1004; there is nothingH3808H1697 among my treasuriesH214 that I have not shownH7200 them.”

16Then IsaiahH3470 saidH559 to HezekiahH2396, “HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068. 17‘BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935 when 5allH3605 that is in your houseH1004, and all that your fathersH1 have laidH686 up in storeH686 to thisH2088 dayH3117 will be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894; nothingH3808H1697 shall be leftH3498,’ saysH559 the LordH3068. 18‘SomeH4480 6of your sonsH1121 whoH834 shall issueH3318 from you, whomH834 you will begetH3205, will be takenH3947 away; and they will becomeH1961 7officialsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.’” 19Then HezekiahH2396 saidH559 to IsaiahH3470, “The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 you have spokenH1696 is 8goodH2896.” For he 9thoughtH559, “Is it not so, ifH518 there will be peaceH7965 and truthH571 in my daysH3117?”
