Isaiah 20
20
1In the year that Tartan [general] came unto Ashdod [powerful], (when Sargon [prince of the sun] the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) sent him,) and fought against Ashdod [powerful], and took it;
2At the same time spoke the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] the son of Amotz [strong], saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off youri waist, and put off youri shoe from youri foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, Like as my servant Yesha’yahu [Yehovah has saved] has walked naked and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] and upon Ethiopia [Kush];
4So shall the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))) lead away the Mitzri prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with [their] buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].
5And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia [Kush] their expectation, and of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] their glory.
6And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such [is] our expectation, to which we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))): and how shall we escape?

Isaiah 20
20
1 The Lord revealed the following message during the year in which King Sargon of Assyria sent his commanding general to Ashdod, and he fought against it and captured it.#tn Heb “In the year the commanding general came to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and captured it.”sn This probably refers to the Assyrian campaign against Philistia in 712 or 711 b.c. 2 At that time the Lord announced through#tn Heb “spoke by the hand of.” Isaiah son of Amoz: “Go, remove the sackcloth from your waist and take your sandals off your feet.” He did as instructed and walked around in undergarments#tn The word used here (עָרוֹם, ’arom) sometimes means “naked,” but here it appears to mean simply “lightly dressed,” i.e., stripped to one’s undergarments. See HALOT 883 s.v. עָרוֹם. The term also occurs in vv. 3, 4. and barefoot. 3 Later the Lord explained, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has walked around in undergarments and barefoot for the past three years, as an object lesson and omen pertaining to Egypt and Cush, 4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, both young and old. They will be in undergarments and barefoot, with the buttocks exposed; the Egyptians will be publicly humiliated.#tn Heb “lightly dressed and barefoot, and bare with respect to the buttocks, the nakedness of Egypt.” 5 Those who put their hope in Cush and took pride in Egypt will be afraid and embarrassed.#tn Heb “and they will be afraid and embarrassed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their beauty.” 6 At that time#tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV). those who live on this coast#sn This probably refers to the coastal region of Philistia (cf. TEV). will say, ‘Look what has happened to our source of hope to whom we fled for help, expecting to be rescued from the king of Assyria! How can we escape now?’”
