In the year that the commander in chief came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, he fought against Ashdod and captured it.At that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, loosen the sackcloth from your waist and take your sandals off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.The LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, Egypt’s shame.They will be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush, their hope, and Egypt, their boast.In that day the inhabitants of this coastland will say, ‘Look, this is what has become of our hope, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! How then shall we escape?’”
