Chapter 20 |
| 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? |
