          DASV: Isaiah 20

1 In the year when Sargon the king of Assyria sent his
commander-in-chief to Ashdod, he fought against Ashdod
and took it.
2 At that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz,
saying, "Go, and take off the sackcloth from your waist, and
remove your sandals from your feet." So he did it, walking
naked and barefoot.
3 Then the LORD said, "Just like my servant Isaiah has walked
naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a harbinger
against Egypt and Ethiopia,
4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of
Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, both young and old,
naked and barefoot, and with buttocks bared, to the shame
of Egypt.
5 They will be dismayed and ashamed because Ethiopia was
their hope, and Egypt their boast.
6 In that day the inhabitants of this coastland will say,
'Look at what happened to our hope, to those we fled to for
help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How will we
ever escape?'"
