Berean Study Bible

Behold
This word serves as a call to attention, urging the listener to pay close heed to the forthcoming prophecy. In Hebrew, "hinneh" is often used to introduce a significant announcement or divine revelation. It underscores the gravity and certainty of the message that follows, emphasizing that it is not merely a prediction but a declaration from God Himself.

the days are coming
This phrase indicates an impending future event, suggesting inevitability and divine timing. It reflects the prophetic nature of the message, where God, who exists outside of time, reveals what is to come. This serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over history and His ability to orchestrate events according to His divine plan.

when everything in your palace
The term "everything" signifies totality, indicating that nothing of value will be spared. The "palace" represents not just the physical structure but the heart of the kingdom's wealth and power. This highlights the comprehensive nature of the impending judgment and the loss that will be experienced by the kingdom.

and all that your fathers have stored up until this day
This phrase points to the accumulated wealth and heritage passed down through generations. It underscores the continuity of blessings and achievements that are about to be lost. The reference to "fathers" connects the present generation to their ancestors, emphasizing the long-standing legacy that is at risk.

will be carried off to Babylon
The mention of "Babylon" is significant, as it was a rising power at the time and would later become a dominant empire. This prophecy foreshadows the Babylonian exile, a pivotal event in Israel's history. The act of being "carried off" implies not just physical removal but also the loss of autonomy and identity, as the people and their treasures are taken to a foreign land.

Nothing will be left
This stark statement reinforces the totality of the coming devastation. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the seriousness of God's judgment. The absolute nature of this loss is meant to provoke reflection and repentance.

says the LORD
The phrase "says the LORD" affirms the divine authority behind the prophecy. It is a reminder that these words are not merely human predictions but are spoken by Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. This underscores the reliability and seriousness of the message, as it comes from the ultimate source of truth and justice.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(17) Behold, the days come . . .--Comp. 2Chronicles 32:25-26; 2Chronicles 32:31. It is there said that Divine wrath fell upon Hezekiah, because his heart was lifted up; and that the Babylonian embassy was an occasion in which God made proof of his inward tendencies. Self-confidence and vanity would be awakened in Hezekiah's heart as he displayed all his resources to the envoys, and heard their politic, and perhaps hyperbolical, expressions of wonder and delight, and himself, it may be, realised for the first time the full extent of his prosperity. But it was not only the king's vanity which displeased a prophet who had always consistently denounced foreign alliances as betokening deviation from absolute trust in Jehovah; and a more terrible irony than that which animates the oracle before us can hardly be conceived. Thy friends, he cries, will prove robbers, thine allies will become thy conquerors. That Isaiah should have foreseen that Assyria, then in the heyday of its power, would one day be dethroned from the sovereignty of the world by that very Babylon which, at the time he spoke, was menaced with ruin by the Assyrian arms, can only be accepted as true by those who accept the reality of supernatural prediction. Thenius remarks: "An Isaiah might well perceive i what fate threatened the little kingdom of Judah, in case of a revolution of affairs brought about by the Babylonians." But the tone of the prophecy is not hypothetical, but entirely positive. Besides, Isaiah evidently did not suppose that Merodach-baladan's revolt would succeed. (Comp. Isaiah 14:29, seq., 21:9.)

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 17. - 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. These treasures of thy royal house, whereof thou art so proud, and which thou hast of thine own accord made known to the Babylonians, to obtain their alliance, will in fact excite their cupidity, and the time will come when they, or what remains of them and represents them, will be carried off as plunder to Babylon by a conquering monarch, who will strip thy palace of its valuables, and drag thy descendants into captivity, and degrade them to the condition of slaves or servants, and make them discharge menial offices about his court. The revelation was now, it would seem, for the first time made that Babylon, and not Assyria, was the true enemy which Judaea had to fear, the destined foe who would accomplish all the threats of the prophets from Moses downwards, who would destroy the holy city and the glorious temple of Solomon, and carry away the ark of the covenant, and tear the people from their homes, and bring the kingdom of David to an end, and give Jerusalem over as a prey to desolation for seventy years. Henceforth it was Babylon and not Assyria which was feared, Babylon and not Assyria whereto the prophetic gaze of Isaiah himself was directed, and which became in his later prophecies (40 - 66.) the main object of his denunciations. Considering the circumstances of the time, the prophecy is a most extraordinary one. Babylonia was at the time merely one of several kingdoms bordering on Assyria which the Assyrians threatened with destruction. From the time of Tiglath-pileser she had been continually diminishing, while Assyria had been continually increasing, in power. Tiglath-pileser had overrun the country and established himself as king there. Shalmaneser's authority had been uncontested. If just at present a native prince held the throne, it was by a very uncertain tenure, and a few years later Assyria regained complete mastery. No human foresight could possibly have anticipated such a complete reversal of the relative positions of the two countries as was involved in Isaiah's prophecy - a reversal which was only accomplished by the appearance on the scene of a new power, Media, which hitherto had been regarded as of the very slightest account. Nothing shall be left, saith the Lord (comp. 2 Kings 25:13-17 and Jeremiah 52:12-23).
