1In the year that the Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria sent him, he fought against Ashdod and captured it.2At that time the LORD spoke by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, "Go and remove the sackcloth from your loins and take off your sandal from your foot." So he did, going naked and barefoot.3Then the LORD said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and a wonder upon Egypt and upon Cush."4so the king of Assyria will lead away the captivity of Egypt and the captivity of Cush, youths and elders, naked and barefoot, with buttocks stripped, the nakedness of Egypt.5They will be dismayed and ashamed of Cush, their expectation, and of Egypt, their beauty.6And the inhabitant of this coastland will say in that day, "Behold, this is our expectation to which we fled there for help, to be rescued from before the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?"
