De afgezanten uit Babel
39 Korte tijd later stuurde Merodach-Baladan, de zoon van Baladan en koning van Babel, Hizkia een geschenk en zijn beste wensen, want hij had gehoord dat Hizkia van een zware ziekte was genezen. 2 Hizkia stelde dit gebaar erg op prijs en leidde de afgezanten uit Babel rond in het paleis. Hij liet hen zijn schatkamers zien, die gevuld waren met zilver, goud, specerijen en parfums. Ook zijn wapenvoorraad en al zijn andere schatten liet hij zien. 3 Toen kwam de profeet Jesaja bij de koning en vroeg: ‘Wat hebben die mannen gezegd? Waar komen zij vandaan?’ ‘Zij komen uit het verre Babel,’ gaf Hizkia als antwoord. 4 ‘Wat hebben zij in uw paleis gezien?’ vroeg Jesaja. Hizkia antwoordde: ‘Ik heb hun al mijn bezittingen laten zien, al mijn kostbare schatten.’ 5 Toen zei Jesaja tegen hem: ‘Luister naar deze boodschap van de Here van de hemelse legers: 6 “Er komt een tijd dat alles wat u hebt, alle schatten die uw voorouders hebben verzameld, naar Babel zal worden weggevoerd. Niets zal er overblijven. 7 Ook enkele van uw eigen zonen zullen worden weggevoerd om dienst te doen in het paleis van de koning van Babel.” ’ 8 ‘Het woord van de Here dat u hebt gesproken, is goed,’ zei Hizkia, want hij dacht bij zichzelf: ‘Gedurende mijn leven zal er in elk geval vrede heersen!’

Isaiah 39
King James Version
39 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.
4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts:
6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

Envoys From Babylon(A)
39 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon(B) sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of his illness and recovery. 2 Hezekiah received the envoys(C) gladly and showed them what was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold,(D) the spices, the fine olive oil—his entire armory and everything found among his treasures.(E) There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did those men say, and where did they come from?”
“From a distant land,(F)” Hezekiah replied. “They came to me from Babylon.”
4 The prophet asked, “What did they see in your palace?”
“They saw everything in my palace,” Hezekiah said. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word(G) of the Lord Almighty: 6 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.(H) Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 7 And some of your descendants, 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.(I)”
8 “The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,(J)” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “There will be peace and security in my lifetime.(K)”
