The Book of Isaiah
20: 1In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria
sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; 20:2at that time Jehovah spake
by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins,
and put thy shoe from off thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
20:3And Jehovah said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot
three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia;
20:4so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of
Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the
shame of Egypt. 20:5And they shall be dismayed and confounded, because of
Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 20:6And the inhabitant of this
coast-land shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled
for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and we, how shall we escape?
