3. Then the prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did these men come from and what did they say to you? ”Hezekiah replied, “They came to me from a distant country, from Babylon.”
4. Isaiah asked, “What have they seen in your palace? ”Hezekiah answered, “They have seen everything in my palace. There isn’t anything in my treasuries that I didn’t show them.”
5. Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord of Hosts:
6. ‘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,’ says the Lord.
7. ‘Some of your descendants who come from you will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ ”
8. Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good,” for he thought: There will be peace and security during my lifetime.
