Isaiah Chapter[BR] 39

1 At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah. He heard that he had been sick and had become well.

2 Hezekiah was pleased and showed them all his store-house of riches. He showed them the silver, the gold, the spices, the oil of much worth, and all his objects used in battle. He showed them everything that was in his store-houses. There was nothing in his house or under his rule that Hezekiah did not show them.

3 Then Isaiah the man of God came to King Hezekiah and said to him, "What did these men say? From where have they come to you?" And Hezekiah said, "They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon."

4 Isaiah said, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen everything in my house. There is nothing among my riches that I have not shown them."

5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the Word of the Lord of All:

6 'See, the days are coming when everything in your house, and everything your fathers have stored up to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,' says the Lord.

7 'And some of your own sons who are born to you will be taken away. They will work in the house of the king of Babylon.' "
