CHAPTER 20 Isaiah Goes Barefoot and Naked

1 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, 2 Then 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. 3 And 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; 4 for 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. 5 And they shall be ashamed being vanquished upon the Ethiopians of whom [³were ⁴relying ¹the ²Egyptians], for they were their glory. 6 And [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?
