Isa 20
1 Isaiah Goes Barefoot and Naked
The year that Tartan entered unto Ashdod, when he was sent by Sargon king of
the Assyrians, and he waged war
against Ashdod, and overtook it,
2Then
the LORD spoke to Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go and remove the sackcloth from your loin, and [
2your sandals
1untie] from your feet! And he did thus, going naked and barefoot.
3And
the LORD said, In which manner [
3goes
1Isaiah
2my servant] naked and barefoot -- three years shall be signs and miracles to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;
4for thus [
3shall lead
1the king
2of
the Assyrians] the captivity of Egypt and Ethiopia, young men and old men, naked and barefoot, uncovering the shame of Egypt.
5And they shall be ashamed being vanquished upon the Ethiopians of whom [
3were
4relying
1the
2Egyptians], for they were their glory.
6And [
6shall say
1the
2ones dwelling
3in
4the
5island] this in that day, Behold, we were relying to flee to them for help, to the ones who were not able to be delivered from
the king of
the Assyrians; and how shall we be delivered?
