And Hezekiah said , They have come to me , from a far country , from Babylon . * Then said he , What have they seen in thy house ? And Hezekiah answered , All that in my house have they seen : there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them . * Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah , Hear the word of the LORD of hosts : * Behold , the days come , that all that in thy house , and which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day , shall be carried to Babylon : nothing shall be left , saith the LORD . * 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 . * Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah , Good the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken . He said moreover , For there shall be peace and truth in my days .
