King James VersionIsaiah20

Isaiah

1 In the year that Tar­tan came unto Ash­dod, (when Sar­gon the king of As­syr­ia sent him, ) and fought against Ash­dod, and took it; 2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isa­iah the son of Amoz, say­ing, Go and loose the sack­cloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walk­ing naked and bare­foot. 3 And the LORD said, Like as my ser­vant Isa­iah hath walked naked and bare­foot three years for a sign and won­der upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 4 So shall the king of As­syr­ia lead away the Egyp­tians pris­on­ers, and the Ethiopi­ans cap­tives, young and old, naked and bare­foot, even with their but­tocks un­cov­ered, to the shame of Egypt. 5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their ex­pec­ta­tion, and of Egypt their glo­ry. 6 And the in­hab­i­tant of this isle shall say in that day, Be­hold, such is our ex­pec­ta­tion, whith­er we flee for help to be de­liv­ered from the king of As­syr­ia: and how shall we es­cape?
