NASB Bible

Isaiah 39

Hezekiah Shows His Treasures

1

 aAt that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered.

2

Hezekiah  1was  apleased, and showed them all his treasure house, the  bsilver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil and his whole armory and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

3

Then Isaiah the  aprophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, "What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?" And Hezekiah said, "They have come to me from a far  bcountry, from Babylon."

4

He said, "What have they seen in your house?" So Hezekiah  1answered, "They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them."

5

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the  aword of the LORD of hosts,

6

`Behold, the days are coming when  aall that is in your house and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will be carried to Babylon; nothing will be left,' says the LORD.

7

`And some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will beget,  awill be taken away, and  bthey will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.' "

8

 aThen Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good." For he  1thought, "For there will be peace and truth  bin my days."
