King James VersionIsaiah39

Isaiah

1 At that time Mero­dachbal­adan, 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.
