Chapter 20
Isai GodsWord 20:1  In the year when King Sargon of Assyria sent his commander-in-chief to fight against Ashdod, he captured it.
Isai GodsWord 20:2  At that time the LORD told Isaiah, son of Amoz, "Take off the sackcloth that you are wearing, and take off your sandals!" Isaiah did this and walked around barefoot and naked.
Isai GodsWord 20:3  Then the LORD said, "My servant Isaiah has gone barefoot and naked for three years as a sign and as an omen to Egypt and Sudan.
Isai GodsWord 20:4  The king of Assyria will lead away both the young and the old--captives from Egypt and exiles from Sudan. They will be barefoot and naked. Their buttocks will be exposed in order to disgrace Egypt.
Isai GodsWord 20:5  Then the people will be shattered and ashamed because Sudan was their hope and Egypt was their beauty.
Isai GodsWord 20:6  When that day comes, those who live on this coastland will say, 'Look at what has happened to our hope. We ran to Egypt for help to be rescued from the king of Assyria. How can we escape?'"
