20:1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon the
king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took
it;
20:2 At the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz,
saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put
off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and
barefoot.
20:3 And the LORD said, As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked
and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Egypt and
upon Cush;
20:4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians
prisoners, and the Cushites captives, young and old, naked and
barefoot, even with [their] hind-parts uncovered, to the shame
of Egypt.
20:5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Cush their
expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
20:6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day,
Behold, such [is] our expectation, whither we flee for help to
be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
