¶ Ezechias is reproued of Esaye, because he she∣wed his treasure vnto the Embassadoures of Ba∣bylon.
CAPI. XXXIX.
AT the same tyme Merodach Bala∣dam, Baladams sonne kynge of Baby¦lon, [ A] sent letters and presentes to E∣zechias. For he vnderstode how he had ben sycke, and was recouered agayne. And Eze∣chias was glad therof, and shewed them the cōmodities of his treasure, of syluer, of golde, of spyces and rootes of precyous oyles, all that was in his cupbordes and treasure hou∣ses. There was not one thynge in Ezechias house, and so thorowe out all his kyngdome, [ B] but he let them se it.

oute of a farre countrey vnto me, out of Ba∣bylon. Esaye sayde: what haue they loked vpon in thyne house? Ezechias answered: All [ C] that is in myne house haue they sene: and there is nothing in my treasure, but I shewed it them.
Then sayd Esaye vnto Ezechias: Vnder∣stande the worde of the Lorde of hostes. Be∣holde the tyme wyll come that euery thynge whiche is in thyne house, and all that thy progenytoures haue layde vp in store vnto [ D] this daye, shall be caryed to Babylon, and no thynge lefte behynde. This sayth the Lorde. Yea, and parte of thy sonnes that shall come of the, and whom thou shalt get, shall be ca∣ued hence, and become gelded chamberlaynes in the kyng of Babylons courte: Then said Ezechias to Esay: Nowe God prospere his owne worde, whiche he hath spoken. He sayd moreouer: so there be peax and faythfulnesse in my tyme.
