Isaias

23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and Assyria shall come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 14 In that day shall Israel be a third to Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth ;

25 Forasmuch as the Lord of Hosts hath blessed him, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and mine inheritance, Israel.

XX. 1 In the year that the Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it:

2 At that timi spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and pull off thy shoe from thy foot And he did so, going naked and barefoot.

3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot, three years a sign and a portent upon Egypt and upon Cush:

4 So shall the king of Asshur lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt.

5 And they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their expectation and Egypt their glorying.

6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, thus is our expectation, whither we tied for help, to be delivered from the face of the king of Asshur; and how shall we, we, escape?

XXI. 1 The burden of the desert of the sea; Like whirlwinds in the south, sweeping along; it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land.

2 A hard vision is declared unto me: the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, Ο Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish ; pangs have taken hold upon me, like the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bowed with pain, so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed, so that I cannot see.
