Isaiah Chapter 20 Back Next{20:1} In the year that Tartan came to
Ashdod, when Sargon the king of
Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;
{20:2} at that time Yahweh spoke by
Isaiah the son of
Amoz, saying, "Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet." He did so, walking naked and
barefoot.
{20:3} Yahweh said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning
Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,
{20:4} so the king of Assyria will 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.
{20:5} They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
{20:6} The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, 'Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?'"
