< Isaiah 20 >

1 In [the] year came [the] supreme commander Ashdod towards when sent him Sargon [the] king of Assyria and he fought against Ashdod and he captured it.
In the year when Tanathan came to Azotus, when he was sent by Arna king of the Assyrians, and warred against Azotus, and took it;
2 At the time that he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz saying go and you will loosen the sackcloth from on hips your and sandal[s] your you will take off from on feet your and he did thus he went naked and barefoot.
then the Lord spoke to Esaias the son of Amos, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off your loins, and loose your sandals from off your feet, and do thus, going naked and barefoot.
3 And he said Yahweh just as he has gone servant my Isaiah naked and barefoot three years a sign and a portent on Egypt and on Cush.
And the Lord said, As my servant Esaias has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians;
4 So he will lead away [the] king of Assyria [the] captive[s] of Egypt and [the] exile[s] of Cush young men and old [men] naked and barefoot and [ones] uncovered of buttock [the] nakedness of Egypt.
for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed.
5 And they will be dismayed and they will be ashamed from Cush hope their and from Egypt boasting their.
And the Egyptians being defeated shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were their glory.
6 And he will say [one who] dwells the coast this in the day that there! [is] thus hope our where we fled there for help to be delivered from before [the] king of Assyria and how? will we escape we.
And they that dwell in this island shall say in that day, Behold, we trusted to flee to them for help, who could not save themselves from the king of the Assyrians: and how shall we be saved?
