Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: 17 ‘The time will certainly come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon; nothing will be left,’(A) says the Lord. 18 ‘Some of your descendants who come from you will be taken away,(B) and they will become eunuchs[a] in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”(C)
19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good,”(D) for he thought: Why not, if there will be peace and security during my lifetime?

16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: 17 The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon.(A) Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 18 And some of your descendants,(B) your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”(C)
19 “The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?”
