Isaiah 20
20
CHAPTER 20
1In the year wherein Tartan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of Assyrians, had sent him, and he had fought against Ashdod, and had taken it;
2in that time the Lord spake in the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, and said, Go thou, and unbind the sack-cloth from thy loins, and take away thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, going naked and unshod.
3And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah went naked and unshod, a sign and great wonder of three years shall be on Egypt, and on Ethiopia;
4so the king of Assyrians shall drive the captivity of Egypt, and the passing over of Ethiopia, a young man and an eld [or old] man, naked and unshod, with the buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5And they shall dread, and shall be ashamed of Ethiopia, their hope, and of Egypt, their glory.
6And a dweller of this isle shall say on that day, This was our hope, to which we fled for help, that they should deliver us from the face of the king of Assyrians; and how may we escape?

No Help from Cush or Egypt
1In the year that the chief commander,#2Kg 18:17 sent by King Sargon of Assyria, came to Ashdod#1Sm 5:1 and attacked and captured it — 2during that time the Lord had spoken through Isaiah#Mt 3:3; 12:17 son of Amoz, saying, “Go, take off your sackcloth from your waist and remove the sandals from your feet,” and he did that, going stripped and barefoot#1Sm 19:24; Mc 1:8 — 3the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,#Is 8:18 4so the king of Assyria will lead the captives of Egypt#Is 19:4 and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, stripped and barefoot, with bared buttocks — to Egypt’s shame. 5Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.#2Kg 18:21; Is 30:3–5; 31:1; Ezk 29:6–7 6And the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Look, this is what has happened to those we relied on and fled to for help to rescue us from the king of Assyria! Now, how will we escape? ’”
