Isaiah 20:1 In-Context

1 In the year that Assyria's King Sargon sent his general to Ashdod, he fought against Ashdod and captured it.
2 At that time the LORD had spoken through Isaiah, Amoz's son, "Go, take off the mourning clothes from your waist, and remove the shoes from your feet." And Isaiah did this, walking naked and barefoot.
3 The LORD said, "Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years, as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,
4 so will the king of Assyria lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, both young and old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks bared, humiliating Egypt.
5 They will be shattered and shamed because of Cush their hope, and because of Egypt their glory.
