In the year that Tartan
came
unto Ashdod
, (when Sargon
the king
of Assyria
sent
him,) and fought
against Ashdod
, and took
it;
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
.
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
;
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
.
And they shall be afraid and ashamed
of Ethiopia
their expectation
, and of Egypt
their glory
.
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
?
