Isaiah 20

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him) and fought against Ashdod and took it;

2 at the same time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 And the LORD said, Like as my slave Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years <em>for</em> a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia,

4 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with <em>their</em> buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their hope and of Egypt their glory.

6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such <em>was</em> our hope which we clung to for help that we might be free from the presence of the king of Assyria. How shall we escape?

New International Version NIV

1 In the year that the supreme commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it—

2 at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.

3 Then the LORD said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush,

4 so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared—to Egypt’s shame.

5 Those who trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be dismayed and put to shame.

6 In that day the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’ ”
