Isaiah 20:3-6
3Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years aas a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush, ▼▼Probably Nubia
4so shall the cking of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt. 5 dThen they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast. 6And the inhabitants of ethis coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and fto whom we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?’” Isaiah 43:3
3For gI am the Lord your God,the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
hI give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and iSeba in exchange for you.
