CHAPTER 39.
AT that time Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent
letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that he had been sick and
was recovered.
2 And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed
them the storehouses of his aromatical spices, and of the silver, and of the
gold, and of the sweet odours, and of the precious ointment, and all the
storehouses of his furniture, and all things that were found in his treasures. There
was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Ezechias shewed them
not.
3 Then Isaias the prophet came to king Ezechias, and
said to him: What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And
Ezechias said: From a far country they came to me, from Babylon
4 And he said: What saw they in thy house? And Ezechias
said: All things that are in my house have they seen, there was not any thing
which I have not shewn them in my treasures.
5 And Isaias said to Ezechias: Rear the word of the
Lord of hosts.
6 Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy
house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be
carried away into Babylon: there shall not any thing be left, saith the Lord.
7 And of thy children, that shall issue from thee, whom
thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace
of the king of Babylon.
8 And Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord,
which he hath spoken, is good. And he said: Only let peace and truth be in my
days.
