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?

Isaiah 20
20
No Help from Cush or Egypt
1In the year that the chief commander, # 2Kg 18:17 sent by Sargon king 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 # Lit off the sackcloth from your loins and remove the sandals from your feet,” and he did so, going naked and barefoot # 1Sm 19:24; Mc 1:8 — 3the Lord said, “As My servant Isaiah has gone naked 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, naked 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? ’ ”
