Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

Verse 17 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.

Voici, les temps viendront où l'on emportera à Babylone tout ce qui est dans ta maison et ce que tes pères ont amassé jusqu'à ce jour; il n'en restera rien, dit l'Eternel.
Ecco, i giorni vengono che tutto quello ch’è in casa tua, e quello che i tuoi padri hanno raunato in tesoro, fino a questo giorno, sarà portato in Babilonia; non ne sarà lasciato di resto cosa veruna, dice il Signore.
Eis que vêm dias em que tudo quanto houver em tua casa, e o que entesouraram teus pais até ao dia de hoje, será levado a Babilônia; não ficará coisa alguma, disse o SENHOR.
耶和華說:『看哪,日子將到,凡你家裏所有的,並你祖先積蓄到如今的一切,都要被擄到 巴比倫 去,不留下一樣;
