The Book of
Isaiah
Chapter 39
Isaiah 39:1 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.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
