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
A Sign Against Egypt and Cush
1In the year that #2 Kgs. 18:17 the commander in chief, who was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to #1 Sam. 5:1Ashdod and fought against it and captured it— 2at that time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet,” and he did so, walking #Mic. 1:8, 11; [1 Sam. 19:24]naked and barefoot.
3Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years #[ch. 8:18]as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,#20:3 Probably Nubia 4so shall the #ch. 19:4king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt. 5#ch. 30:3, 5; [ch. 37:9]Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast. 6And the inhabitants of #Jer. 47:7; [ch. 14:29, 31] this coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and #[ch. 37:6]to whom we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?’”
