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?

Isaiah 20

A Sign regarding Egypt and Cush
1In the year the commander-in-chief came#Literally “of the coming of the commander in chief” to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and he took it, 2at that time, Yahweh had spoken by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying,
“Go and loosen the sackcloth from your loins,
and take off your sandals#Hebrew “sandal” from your feet,”
and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot.
3Then#Or “And” Yahweh said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush, 4so shall the king of Assyria lead the captives#Hebrew “captive” of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks,#Literally “and bare of buttocks” the shame of Egypt.
5And they shall be dismayed,
and they shall be ashamed
because of Cush, their hope,
and because of Egypt, their pride.
6And the inhabitant#Hebrew “inhabitant” of the coastland will say this on that day:
‘Look! This is our hope to whom we fled for help, to be delivered from#Literally “from the face of” the king of Assyria, and how shall we escape?’ ”
