14 Then the prophet Isaiah came to king Hezekiah, and said to him: 'What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?' And Hezekiah said to him, 'They came to me from Babylon, from a far away land.'
15 And he responded, 'What did they see in your house?' And Hezekiah said: 'They saw all things whatsoever that are in my house. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show to them.'
16 And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: 'Listen to the word of the Lord.
17 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up even to this day, will be carried away to Babylon. Nothing at all shall remain, says the Lord.
18 Then too, they will take from your sons, who will go forth from you, whom you will conceive. And they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'
