1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of
Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; 2 at that time
Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth
from off your loins, and put your shoe from off your foot. He did so, walking
naked and barefoot. 3 Yahweh said, Like as my servant Isaiah has walked
naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and
concerning Ethiopia; 4 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives
of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and
with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5 They shall be dismayed
and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their
glory. 6 The inhabitant of this coast-land shall say in that day, Behold,
such is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king
of Assyria: and we, how shall we escape?
