Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.20
[1] In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon
the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and
took it;
[2] At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of
Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and
put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and
barefoot.
[3] And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath
walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon
Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
[4] So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians
prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and
barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of
Egypt.
[5] And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their
expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
[6] And 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?
