YLT
Young's Literal Translation
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift
to
Hezekiah, for
he had
heard
about
Hezekiah’s
illness
and recovery
.
At that time hath
Merodach-Baladan ,
son of Baladan ,
king of Babylon ,
sent letters and a present
unto
Hezekiah, when
he heareth
that
he
hath
been
sick,
and is
become
strong
.
And Hezekiah welcomed
the
envoys
gladly
and showed
them what
was
in
his
treasure
house —
the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious
oil
, as
well
as
his entire
armory—
all that was
found in his storehouses.
There was
nothing
in his palace
or
in all his dominion that Hezekiah did
not show
them.
And Hezekiah rejoiceth
over
them,
and sheweth
them the
house of
his
spices,
the silver, and
the gold, and
the spices, and the good
ointment
, and
all
the
house
of
his vessels,
and
all that hath
been
found in his treasures;
there hath
not
been
a
thing
in his house,
and
in all his dominion ,
that Hezekiah hath
not shewed
them.
Then
the prophet Isaiah
went
to
King Hezekiah and asked
, “Where
did
those
men come
from,
and what
did
they say
to
you
? ”
“They
came
to
me
from a distant
land ,”
Hezekiah
replied,
“
from Babylon. ”
And
Isaiah
the prophet cometh
in
unto
king Hezekiah ,
and saith
unto
him
, `What
said
these
men ?
and whence
come
they unto
thee
? '
And
Hezekiah
saith,
`
From a land afar
off
they
have
come
unto
me
--
from Babylon. '
“
What have
they seen
in your
palace
? ”
Isaiah
asked.
“They
have
seen
everything
in
my
palace,”
answered
Hezekiah .
“There
is nothing
among
my treasures
that I did
not show
them. ”
And
he
saith,
`
What saw
they in thy
house
? '
and
Hezekiah saith,
`All
that
`
is '
in
my house
they
saw;
there
hath
not
been
a
thing
that I have
not shewed
them among
my
treasures
. '
Then
Isaiah said
to
Hezekiah, “
Hear the
word of the
LORD
of Hosts:
And
Isaiah saith
unto
Hezekiah, `
Hear a
word of Jehovah
of Hosts:
The
time
will
surely
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.
Lo,
days
are
coming,
and borne
hath
been
all that `is'
in
thy
house,
and
that
thy
fathers have treasured
up till
this day ,
to Babylon ;
there
is
not
left a
thing
, said
Jehovah;
And some
of your
descendants
, your
own
flesh
and
blood
, will
be
taken
away
to
be
eunuchs in the
palace of the king of Babylon. ”
and of thy
sons
who
come
forth
from
thee
, whom
thou
begettest
, they
take,
and
they
have
been
eunuchs in a
palace of the king of Babylon. '
But
Hezekiah said
to
Isaiah, “
The word of the
LORD
that you
have
spoken is
good.”
For
he thought
, “At
least
there will
be
peace and security
in my lifetime
. ”
And
Hezekiah saith
unto
Isaiah, `Good
`is'
the word of Jehovah
that thou
hast
spoken ;'
and
he saith
, `Because
there is
peace and truth
in my days
. '
