1 At|strong="H0413" that|strong="H3588" time|strong="H6256" Merodach Baladan|strong="H1081" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Baladan|strong="H1081" was|strong="H1931" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Babylon|strong="H0894". He|strong="H1931" sent|strong="H7971" some|strong="H6256" men|strong="H1121" with|strong="H0413" letters|strong="H5612" and|strong="H1121" a|strong="H3588" gift|strong="H4503" to|strong="H0413" Hezekiah|strong="H2396" when|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" heard|strong="H8085" that|strong="H3588" Hezekiah|strong="H2396" had|strong="H4428" been|strong="H2388" sick|strong="H2470".
2 This|strong="H1697" made|strong="H1961" Hezekiah|strong="H2396" very|strong="H8055" happy|strong="H8055", so|strong="H1961" he|strong="H0834" showed|strong="H7200" them|strong="H0853" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" valuable things|strong="H1697" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3605" storehouses|strong="H0214". He|strong="H0834" showed|strong="H7200" them|strong="H0853" the|strong="H3605" silver|strong="H3701", the|strong="H3605" gold|strong="H2091", the|strong="H3605" spices|strong="H1314", and|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" expensive perfumes. He|strong="H0834" showed|strong="H7200" them|strong="H0853" the|strong="H3605" building where|strong="H0834" he|strong="H0834" stored|strong="H0214" the|strong="H3605" weapons|strong="H3627". He|strong="H0834" showed|strong="H7200" them|strong="H0853" everything|strong="H3605" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3605" treasuries|strong="H0214" and|strong="H1004" everything|strong="H3605" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" and|strong="H1004" throughout|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" kingdom|strong="H4475".
3 Then|strong="H0935" Isaiah|strong="H3470" the|strong="H0559" prophet|strong="H5030" went|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0413" King|strong="H4428" Hezekiah|strong="H2396" and|strong="H0935" asked|strong="H0559" him|strong="H0413", “What|strong="H4100" did|strong="H4100" these|strong="H0428" men|strong="H0376" say|strong="H0559"? Where|strong="H0370" did|strong="H4100" they|strong="H0376" come|strong="H0935" from|strong="H0935"?”
4 So|strong="H1961" Isaiah|strong="H0559" asked|strong="H0559" him|strong="H0853", “What|strong="H4100" did|strong="H4100" they|strong="H0834" see|strong="H7200" in|strong="H1004" your|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004"?”
5 Then|strong="H0559" Isaiah|strong="H3470" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Hezekiah|strong="H2396", “Listen|strong="H8085" to|strong="H0413" this|strong="H1697" message|strong="H1697" from|strong="H8085" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" All-Powerful:
6 ‘The|strong="H3605" time|strong="H3117" is|strong="H0834" coming|strong="H0935" when|strong="H3117" everything|strong="H3605" in|strong="H0935" your|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004" and|strong="H0935" everything|strong="H3605" your|strong="H3068" ancestors|strong="H0001" have|strong="H0834" saved|strong="H3498" until|strong="H5704" today|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3808" carried|strong="H5375" away|strong="H5375" to|strong="H0559" Babylon|strong="H0894". Nothing|strong="H3808" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3808" left|strong="H3498"!’ The|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" All-Powerful said|strong="H0559" this|strong="H2088".
7 The|strong="H0834" Babylonians will|strong="H1961" take|strong="H3947" your|strong="H0834" own|strong="H1961" sons|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" your|strong="H0834" sons|strong="H1121" will|strong="H1961" become|strong="H1961" officers|strong="H5631" in|strong="H4428" the|strong="H0834" palace|strong="H1964" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0834" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Babylon|strong="H0894".”
8 Then|strong="H1961" Hezekiah|strong="H2396" told|strong="H0559" Isaiah|strong="H3470", “This|strong="H3588" message|strong="H1697" from|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H0834" good|strong="H2896".” (Hezekiah|strong="H2396" said|strong="H0559" this|strong="H3588" because|strong="H3588" he|strong="H0834" thought|strong="H0559", “There|strong="H1961" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" real peace|strong="H7965" and|strong="H3068" security|strong="H7965" during|strong="H3117" my|strong="H3068" lifetime|strong="H3117".”)
