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 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?’ ”
