Isaiah
Chapter 20
{Isaiah
- the Naked Prophet}
1
In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod
(when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him)
and
fought against Ashdod, and took it . . . 2
at
the same time
spoke
Jehovah/God by Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying,
"Go
and loose the sackcloth from off your loins,
and
put off your shoe from your foot."
And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3
And Jehovah/God said,
"Like
as My servant Isaiah
has
walked naked and barefoot three years
for
a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia . . . 4
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. 5
And
they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation,
and
of Egypt their glory. 6
And
the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day,
'Behold,
such is our expectation,
whether
we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria . . .
and
how shall we escape?"
