3 And Isaiah the prOphet came to the king Hezekiah, and said to him, What say these men, and from whence are they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a land (from) afar unto me, from Babylon.

4 And Isaiah said, What saw they in thine house? An ’Hezekiah said, They saw all that is in my house, and there is nothing in my house which they saw not, but (they saw) even that which is among my treasures:

5 And Isaiah said unto him, Hear the word of the Lord of Hosts;

6 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and they shall take all that is in thine house, and all that thy fathers gathered together unto this day shall come to Babylon, and they shall leave nothing behind; and God said,

7 They shall take also of thy children, which thou shalt beget, and shall make them eunuchs in the house of the king of the Babylonians.

8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is Lord's word which he hath spoken: let there be now peace and righteousness in my days.
