Isaiah 20:2-6
2at that timeH6256 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 throughH3027 1IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, sayingH559, “GoH1980 and loosenH6605 the 2sackclothH8242 from your hipsH4975 and takeH2502 your 3sandalsH5275 offH4480 your feetH7272.” And he didH6213 soH3651, goingH1980 4nakedH6174 and barefootH3182.
3Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “EvenH3512 asH3512 My servantH5650 IsaiahH3470 has goneH1980 nakedH6174 and barefootH3182 for threeH7969 yearsH8141 as a 5signH226 and symbolH4159 againstH5921 EgyptH4714 and 67CushH3568,
4soH3651 the 8kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 will leadH5090 awayH5090 the captivesH7628 of EgyptH4714 and the exilesH1546 of CushH3568, 9youngH5288 and oldH2205, nakedH6174 and barefootH3182 with buttocksH8351 uncoveredH2834, to the 10shameH6172 of EgyptH4714.
5Then they will be 11terrifiedH2865 and ashamedH954 becauseH4480 of CushH3568 their hopeH4007 and EgyptH4714 their 12prideH8597.
6So the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2088 coastlandH339 will sayH559 on that dayH3117, ‘BeholdH2009, suchH3541 is our hopeH4007, whereH834H8033 we fledH5127 13for helpH5833 to be savedH5337 from the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and 14howH349 are we ourselvesH587 to escapeH4422?’”
