“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?” (Isaiah 20:1-6 AV)
