Jesaja 39

Het Boek

van Biblica
1 Korte tijd later stuurde Merodach-Baladan, de zoon van Baladan en koning van Babel, Hizkia een geschenk en zijn beste wensen, want hij had gehoord dat Hizkia van een zware ziekte was genezen. 2 Hizkia stelde dit gebaar erg op prijs en leidde de afgezanten uit Babel rond in het paleis. Hij liet hen zijn schatkamers zien, die gevuld waren met zilver, goud, specerijen en parfums. Ook zijn wapenvoorraad en al zijn andere schatten liet hij zien. 3 Toen kwam de profeet Jesaja bij de koning en vroeg: ‘Wat hebben die mannen gezegd? Waar komen zij vandaan?’ ‘Zij komen uit het verre Babel,’ gaf Hizkia als antwoord. 4 ‘Wat hebben zij in uw paleis gezien?’ vroeg Jesaja. Hizkia antwoordde: ‘Ik heb hun al mijn bezittingen laten zien, al mijn kostbare schatten.’ 5 Toen zei Jesaja tegen hem: ‘Luister naar deze boodschap van de HERE van de hemelse legers: 6 “Er komt een tijd dat alles wat u hebt, alle schatten die uw voorouders hebben verzameld, naar Babel zal worden weggevoerd. Niets zal er overblijven. 7 Ook enkele van uw eigen zonen zullen worden weggevoerd om dienst te doen in het paleis van de koning van Babel.” ’ 8 ‘Het woord van de HERE dat u hebt gesproken, is goed,’ zei Hizkia, want hij dacht bij zichzelf: ‘Gedurende mijn leven zal er in elk geval vrede heersen!’

Jesaja 39

English Standard Version

van Crossway
1 At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent envoys with letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. (2 Kon 20:12; 2 Kron 32:31) 2 And Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. And he showed them his treasure house, the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious oil, his whole armory, all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them. (2 Kon 18:15; 2 Kron 32:25) 3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.” 4 He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them.” 5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts: 6 Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up till this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says the Lord. (2 Kon 24:13; 2 Kon 25:13) 7 And some of your own sons, who will come from you, whom you will father, shall be taken away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.” (Dan 1:2; Dan 1:7) 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 in my days.” (2 Kron 32:26)
