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? ’ ”

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 20
20
1In the year that Tartan came to Ashdoḏ, when Sargon the sovereign of Ashshur sent him, and he fought against Ashdoḏ and took it,
2at that same time יהוה spoke by means of Yeshayahu son of Amots, saying, “Go, and remove the sackcloth from your body, and take your sandals off your feet.” And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3And יהוה said, “As My servant Yeshayahu has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder against Mitsrayim and Kush,
4so does the sovereign of Ashshur lead away the captives of Mitsrayim and the exiles of Kush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered – the shame of Mitsrayim.
5“And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Kush, their expectation, and of Mitsrayim, their boast.
6“And the inhabitant of this coastland shall say in that day, ‘See, such is our expectation, wherever we flee for help to be delivered from the sovereign of Ashshur. And how do we escape?’ ”
