Isaias

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?
