Isaiah 20

20
Chapter 20
A message about Egypt and Cush
1One year, Sargon, the king of Assyria, sent the leader of his army to attack Ashdod. #20:1 The year was 711 BC His army fought against Ashdod and they took the city. 2At that time, the Lord gave this message to Isaiah, the son of Amoz. He said, ‘Go and remove the rough clothes that you are wearing. Take your shoes off your feet.’ Isaiah did what the Lord told him to do. He walked about without clothes and without shoes. #20:2 Isaiah may have been wearing some underclothes.
3After three years, the Lord said, ‘My servant Isaiah has walked without clothes and without shoes for three years. That is a sign to warn Egypt and Cush about what will happen to them. 4The king of Assyria will take away people from Egypt as prisoners. He will do the same thing to the people of Cush. Young people and old people will go as prisoners to Assyria. They will not wear any clothes or shoes. People will see their bare bodies. The Egyptians will be very ashamed. 5Anyone who trusted that Cush or Egypt would be strong enough to save them will be ashamed. They will be afraid. 6At that time, the people who live on this coast will say, “Look! This has happened to the people that we trusted to help us. We thought that they would rescue us from the king of Assyria. Now we will never escape from his power.” ’
