Isaiah 20
20
Sign of Nakedness
1In the year that the Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him and he fought against Ashdod and captured it,
2at that time Adonai spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz saying, “Go, remove the sackcloth from your loins and your sandals from your feet.” So he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3Then Adonai said: “Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years, as a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,
4so will the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to Egypt’s shame.
5So they will be dismayed and ashamed, because they hoped in Ethiopia and boasted in Egypt.
6Then the inhabitants of the coastland will say in that day, ‘Look, such is our hope—there we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! Now, how will we escape?’”

Isaiah 20
20
1In the year when Sargon,#20:1. This is the only Biblical mention of Sargon II, king of Assyria. However, his campaign against Ashdod in 711 BC has been confirmed by archaeology. king of Assyria, sent his army commander to attack the town of Ashdod and conquered it, 2at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah, son of Amoz. He told him, “Take off the sackcloth clothes from your body and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did so and went around naked and barefoot.
3Then the Lord said, “In the same way that my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Ethiopia, 4so shall the king of Assyria lead the Egyptian prisoners and the Ethiopian exiles, both young and old, naked and barefoot. Their buttocks will be bare, to Egypt's shame. 5They#20:5. Referring to the Philistines in Ashdod. will be discouraged and humiliated because they had put their hope in Ethiopia and proudly trusted in Egypt. 6At that time the people living in the coastal lands#20:6. The area including Ashdod occupied by the Philistines. will say, ‘Look what has happened to those we were depending on! We ran to them for help to save us from the king of Assyria. We don't stand a chance!’”
