1
In the year[H8141] that Tartan[H8661]came[H935] unto Ashdod[H795],(when Sargon[H5623] the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804]sent[H7971] him,) and fought[H3898] against Ashdod[H795], and took[H3920] it;
2
At the same time[H6256]spake[H1696] the LORD[H3068]by[H3027]Isaiah[H3470] the son[H1121] of Amoz[H531], saying[H559], Go[H3212] and loose[H6605] the sackcloth[H8242] from off[H2502] thy loins[H4975], and put off[H2502] thy shoe[H5275] from thy foot[H7272]. And he did so[H6213], walking[H1980]naked[H6174] and barefoot[H3182].
3
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559], Like as my servant[H5650]Isaiah[H3470] hath walked[H1980]naked[H6174] and barefoot[H3182]three[H7969]years[H8141] for a sign[H226] and wonder[H4159] upon Egypt[H4714] and upon Ethiopia[H3568];
4
So shall the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] lead away[H5090] the Egyptians[H4714]prisoners[H7628], and the Ethiopians[H3568]captives[H1546], young[H5288] and old[H2205], naked[H6174] and barefoot[H3182], even with their buttocks[H8357]uncovered[H2834], to the shame[H6172] of Egypt[H4714].
5
And they shall be afraid[H2865] and ashamed[H954] of Ethiopia[H3568] their expectation[H4007], and of Egypt[H4714] their glory[H8597].
6
And the inhabitant[H3427] of this isle[H339] shall say[H559] in that day[H3117], Behold, such[H3541] is our expectation[H4007], whither we flee[H5127] for help[H5833] to be delivered[H5337]from[H6440] the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804]: and how shall we escape?[H4422]
