Isaiah 20

The Sign Against Egypt and Ethiopia
1In the year that #2 Kin. 18:17Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it, 2at the same time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and remove #Zech. 13:4; Matt. 3:4the sackcloth from your body, and take your sandals off your feet.” And he did so, #1 Sam. 19:24; Mic. 1:8walking naked and barefoot.
3Then the Lord said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years #Is. 8:18for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia, 4so shall the #Is. 19:4king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, #2 Sam. 10:4; Is. 3:17; Jer. 13:22; Mic. 1:11with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5#2 Kin. 18:21; Is. 30:3–5; 31:1; Ezek. 29:6, 7Then they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and Egypt their glory. 6And the inhabitant of this territory will say in that day, ‘Surely such is our expectation, wherever we flee for #Is. 30:5, 7help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?’ ”

Isaiah 20
20
XX
1In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod and took it; 2at that time Jehovah spake by Isaiab the son of Amoz, saying: Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3And Jehovah said: Like as my servant Isaiab hath walked naked and barefoot three years, a sign and wonder for Egypt and for Cush; 4so shall the king of Assyria lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, the young and the old, naked and barefoot with their hind-parts uncovered, to the shame of the Egyptians. 5And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their expectation; and of Egypt their glory. 6And the inhabitant of this region shall say in that day: Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
