[1] In the year that the commander in chief, who was sent by Sargon the
king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and took it,-- [2] at
that time the LORD had spoken by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and
loose the sackcloth from your loins and take off your shoes from your
feet," and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot-- [3] the LORD said,
"As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a
sign and a portent against Egypt and Ethiopia, [4] so shall the king of
Assyria lead away the Egyptians captives and the Ethiopians exiles, both
the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, to the
shame of Egypt. [5] Then they shall be dismayed and confounded because of
Ethiopia their hope and of Egypt their boast. [6] And the inhabitants of
this coastland will say in that day, `Behold, this is what has happened to
those in whom we hoped and to whom we fled for help to be delivered from
the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?'"
