1In the year<8141> that the commander<8661> came<935> to Ashdod<795>, when Sargon<5623> the king<4428> of Assyria<804> sent<7971> him and he fought<3898> against Ashdod<795> and captured<3920> it,
2at that time<6256> the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> through<3027> Isaiah<3470> the son<1121> of Amoz<531>, saying<559>, "Go<1980> and loosen<6605> the sackcloth<8242> from your hips<4975> and take<2502> your shoes<5275> off<4480> your feet<7272>." And he did<6213> so<3651>, going<1980> naked<6174> and barefoot<3182>.
3And the LORD<3068> said<559>, "Even<3512> as My servant<5650> Isaiah<3470> has gone<1980> naked<6174> and barefoot<3182> three<7969> years<8141> as a sign<226> and token<4159> against<5921> Egypt<4714> and Cush<3568>,
4so<3651> the king<4428> of Assyria<804> will lead<5090> away<5090> the captives<7628> of Egypt<4714> and the exiles<1546> of Cush<3568>, young<5288> and old<2205>, naked<6174> and barefoot<3182> with buttocks<8351> uncovered<2834>, to the shame<6172> of Egypt<4714>.
5"Then they will be dismayed<2865> and ashamed<954> because<4480> of Cush<3568> their hope<4007> and Egypt<4714> their boast<8597>.
6"So the inhabitants<3427> of this<2008> coastland<339> will say<559> in that day<3117>, 'Behold<2009>, such<3541> is our hope<4007>, where<834><8033> we fled<5127> for help<5833> to be delivered<5337> from the king<4428> of Assyria<804>; and we, how<349> shall we escape<4422>?'"
