Isaiah 20

Revised Literal Translation

1In the yearH8141 that TartanH8661 cameH935 unto AshdodH795, (when SargonH5623 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 him,) and foughtH3898 against AshdodH795, and tookH3920 it;

2At the same timeH6256 spakeH1696 YhwhH3068 byH3027 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, sayingH559, GoH3212 and looseH6605 the sackclothH8242 from off thy loinsH4975, and put offH2502 thy shoeH5275 from thy footH7272. And he did soH6213, walkingH1980 nakedH6174 and barefootH3182.1

3And YhwhH3068 saidH559, Like as my servantH5650 IsaiahH3470 hath walkedH1980 nakedH6174 and barefootH3182 threeH7969 yearsH8141 for a signH226 and wonderH4159 upon EgyptH4714 and upon EthiopiaH3568;

4So shall the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 lead awayH5090 the EgyptiansH4714 prisonersH7628, and the EthiopiansH3568 captivesH1546, youngH5288 and oldH2205, nakedH6174 and barefootH3182, even with their buttocksH8357 uncoveredH2834, to the shameH6172 of EgyptH4714.23

5And they shall be afraidH2865 and ashamedH954 of EthiopiaH3568 their expectationH4007, and of EgyptH4714 their gloryH8597.

6And the inhabitantH3427 of this isleH339 shall sayH559 in that dayH3117, Behold, suchH3541 is our expectationH4007, whither we fleeH5127 for helpH5833 to be deliveredH5337 fromH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: and how shall we escapeH4422?4
