Isaiah 20:1-4

1In the year that the 12commander came to 3Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him and he fought against Ashdod and captured it,

2at that time the Lord spoke through 4Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go and loosen the 5sackcloth from your hips and take your 6shoes off your feet.” And he did so, going 7naked and barefoot.

3And the Lord said, “Even as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years as a 89sign and token against Egypt and 1011Cush,

4so the 12king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, 13young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the 14shame of Egypt.
