In the year that
Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of
Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and
took it;
02 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.
03 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;

04 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.
05 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of
Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their
glory.
06 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?
