Isaiah 20

In the year when King Sargon of Assyria sent his commander in chief
To capture the Philistine city of Ashdod, the Lord told Isaiah son
Of Amoz, "Take off the burlap you have been wearing, and remove
Your sandals." Isaiah did as he was told and walked around naked
And barefoot. Then the Lord said, "My servant Isaiah has been
Walking around naked and barefoot for the last three years. This
Is a sign, a symbol of the terrible troubles I will bring upon Egypt
And Ethiopia. For the king of Assyria will take away the Egyptians
And Ethiopians as prisoners. He will make them walk naked and
Barefoot, both young and old, their buttocks bare, to the shame of

Egypt. Then the Philistines will be thrown into panic, for they
Counted on the power of Ethiopia and boasted of their allies in
Egypt. They will say, 'If this can happen to Egypt
What chance do we have? We were counting on
Egypt to protect us from the king of Assyria.'"
