Isaiah 39
New American Standard Bible
Hezekiah Shows His Treasures
39 (A)At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. 2 Hezekiah [a]was (B)pleased, and let them see all his treasure house, the (C)silver, the gold, the balsam oil, the excellent olive oil, his entire armory, and everything that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his realm that Hezekiah did not let them see. 3 Then Isaiah the (D)prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came to me from a far (E)country, from Babylon.” 4 Then he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah [b]answered, “They have seen everything that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not let them see.”
5 Isaiah then said to Hezekiah, “Hear the (F)word of the Lord of armies, 6 ‘Behold, the days are coming when (G)everything that is in your house, and what 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 sons who will come from you, whom you will father, (H)will be taken away, and (I)they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’” 8 (J)Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good.” For he [c]thought, “For there will be peace and truth (K)in my days.”

Ezequías recibe a los enviados de Babilonia(A)
39 Por aquel tiempo el rey Merodac-baladán, hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, oyó decir que Ezequías había estado enfermo pero que ya había recobrado la salud, y por medio de unos mensajeros le envió cartas y un regalo. 2 Ezequías se alegró de su llegada y les mostró su tesoro, la plata y el oro, los perfumes, el aceite fino y su depósito de armas, y todo lo que se encontraba en sus depósitos. No hubo nada en su palacio ni en todo su reino que no les mostrara. 3 Entonces fue el profeta Isaías a ver al rey Ezequías, y le preguntó:
—¿De dónde vinieron esos hombres, y qué te dijeron?
Ezequías respondió:
—Vinieron de un país lejano; vinieron de Babilonia.
4 Isaías le preguntó:
—¿Y qué vieron en tu palacio?
Ezequías contestó:
—Vieron todo lo que hay en él. No hubo nada en mis depósitos que yo no les mostrara.
5 Isaías dijo entonces a Ezequías:
—Escucha este mensaje del Señor todopoderoso: 6 “Van a venir días en que todo lo que hay en tu palacio y todo lo que juntaron tus antepasados hasta el día de hoy, será llevado a Babilonia. No quedará aquí nada. 7 Aun a algunos de tus propios descendientes se los llevarán a Babilonia, los castrarán y los pondrán como criados en el palacio del rey.”
8 Ezequías, pensando que al menos durante su vida habría paz y seguridad, respondió a Isaías:
—El mensaje que me has traído de parte del Señor es favorable.
