Isaiah 20:3 CPDV

¹  In the year in which Tharthan entered into Ashdod, when Sargon, the king of the Assyrians, had sent him, and when he had fought against Ashdod and had captured it,

²  in that same time, the Lord spoke by the hand of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying: 'Go forth, and remove the sackcloth from your waist, and take your shoes from your feet.' And he did so, going out naked and barefoot.

³  And the Lord said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot, as a sign and as a portent of three years over Egypt and over Ethiopia,

⁴  so also will the king of the Assyrians force the captivity of Egypt, and the transmigration of Ethiopia: young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

⁵  And they will be afraid and confounded over Ethiopia, their hope, and Egypt, their glory.
