And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 39 of Isaiah. Babylonian envoys visit Hezekiah after his recovery, and he shows them all his treasures. Isaiah interprets the act as an exposure of what will eventually be carried away to Babylon. The chapter serves as a transition: after deliverance from Assyria, a future threat emerges connected to Judah’s own confidence and ostentation.

Dazu werden sie von deinen Kindern, die von dir kommen werden und du zeugen wirst, nehmen, daß sie müssen Kämmerer sein am Hofe des Königs zu Babel.
De tus hijos que hubieren salido de ti, y que engendraste, tomarán, y serán eunucos en el palacio del rey de Babilonia.
Et l'on prendra de tes fils, qui seront sortis de toi, que tu auras engendrés, pour en faire des eunuques dans le palais du roi de Babylone.
Ed anche si prenderanno de’ tuoi figliuoli, i quali saranno usciti di te, i quali tu avrai generati; e saranno eunuchi nel palazzo del re di Babilonia.
E até de teus filhos, que procederem de ti, e tu gerares, tomarão, para que sejam eunucos no palácio do rei de Babilônia.
從你本身所生的孩子,其中必有被擄到 巴比倫 王宮當太監的。』」
