And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 20 of 2 Kings. Merodach-baladan sends messengers and gifts to Hezekiah after learning of his recovery. The king shows them all his treasures and resources, apparently failing to recognize the danger of displaying Judah’s wealth. Isaiah announces that a day will come when everything will be carried away to Babylon and some of the king’s descendants will be taken there. The narrative thus introduces in advance the destiny that will unfold much later in the final chapters. Hezekiah’s prosperity paradoxically contains the seed of future vulnerability when pride replaces dependence.

Er sprach: Was haben sie gesehen in deinem Hause? Hiskia sprach: Sie haben alles gesehen, was in meinem Hause ist, und ist nichts in meinen Schätzen, was ich ihnen nicht gezeigt hätte.
Y él le volvió a decir: ¿Qué vieron en tu casa? Y Ezechîas respondió: Vieron todo lo que había en mi casa; nada quedó en mis tesoros que no les mostrase.
Isaías preguntó: «¿Qué vieron en tu palacio?». Ezequías respondió: «Vieron todo lo que hay en mi palacio. No hubo nada en mis tesoros que no les mostrara».
Esaïe dit encore: Qu'ont-ils vu dans ta maison? Ezéchias répondit: Ils ont vu tout ce qui est dans ma maison: il n'y a rien dans mes trésors que je ne leur aie fait voir.
E Isaia disse: Che hanno veduto in casa tua? Ed Ezechia disse: Hanno veduto tutto quello ch’è in casa mia; non vi è cosa alcuna ne’ miei tesori, che io non abbia loro mostrata.
E disse ele: Que viram em tua casa? E disse Ezequias: Tudo quanto há em minha casa viram; coisa nenhuma há nos meus tesouros que eu não lhes mostrasse.
