Isaiah 20

20In the year that ^aTartan came unto ^bAshdod, (when ^cSargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it; ²At the same time spake the Lord ^†by ^dIsaiah the son of Amoz, saying,

Go and loose ^ethe sackcloth from off thy loins,

And put off thy shoe from thy foot.

And he did so, walking ^fnaked and ^gbarefoot. ³And the Lord said,

Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked ^fnaked and ^gbarefoot

^hThree years for ⁱa sign and wonder

Upon Egypt and upon ^jEthiopia;

⁴So shall ^kthe king of Assyria lead away ^†the Egyptians prisoners, and the ^jlEthiopians captives,

Young and old, ^fnaked and ^gbarefoot,

Even ^mwith their buttocks uncovered,

To the ^†shame of Egypt.

⁵And ⁿthey shall be afraid and ashamed ^oof ^jEthiopia their expectation,

And ^pof Egypt their glory.

⁶And 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?
