1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of
Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; 2 at that time
Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth
from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet.” He did so, walking
naked and barefoot. 3 Yahweh said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked
naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and
concerning Ethiopia, 4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives
of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and
with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5 They will be dismayed
and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their
glory. 6 The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day,
‘Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered
from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?’”
