Isaiah 20

Prophecy about Egypt and Ethiopia

1In the yearH8141 that the 12commanderH8661 cameH935 to 3AshdodH795, when SargonH5623 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 him and he foughtH3898 against AshdodH795 and capturedH3920 it,

2at that timeH6256 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 throughH3027 4IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, sayingH559, “GoH1980 and loosenH6605 the 5sackclothH8242 from your hipsH4975 and takeH2502 your 6shoesH5275 offH4480 your feetH7272.” And he didH6213 soH3651, goingH1980 7nakedH6174 and barefootH3182.

3And the LordH3068 saidH559, “EvenH3512 as My servantH5650 IsaiahH3470 has goneH1980 nakedH6174 and barefootH3182 threeH7969 yearsH8141 as a 89signH226 and tokenH4159 againstH5921 EgyptH4714 and 1011CushH3568,

4soH3651 the 12kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 will leadH5090 awayH5090 the captivesH7628 of EgyptH4714 and the exilesH1546 of CushH3568, 13youngH5288 and oldH2205, nakedH6174 and barefootH3182 with buttocksH8351 uncoveredH2834, to the 14shameH6172 of EgyptH4714.

5Then they will be 15dismayedH2865 and ashamedH954 becauseH4480 of CushH3568 their hopeH4007 and EgyptH4714 their 16boastH8597.

6So the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2008 coastlandH339 will sayH559 in that dayH3117, ‘BeholdH2009, suchH3541 is our hopeH4007, whereH834H8033 we fledH5127 17for helpH5833 to be deliveredH5337 from the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and we, 18howH349 shall we escapeH4422?’”
