Isaiah 20
- 1In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, When Sargon the king of Assyria sent him. And fought against Ashdod, and took it.
- 2At the same time spoke the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the rough mourning clothes from off your waist, and put off your shoe from your foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
- 3And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder on Egypt and on Ethiopia.
- 4So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
- 5And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
- 6And the people who live on this border shall say in that day, See what has happened to the ones we trusted, where we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
