Isaías 20:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 20:4

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians
prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives
As beasts are led or driven, being taken prisoners, and carried captive by the king of Assyria, namely Sargon, whoever is intended by him:

young and old;
without any regard to age, sparing none for their tender years or gray hairs:

naked and barefoot;
as prisoners of war commonly are, being stripped by their conquerors of their clothes, and having only a few rags given them to cover their nakedness with, and obliged to travel without shoes on their feet:

even with [their] buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt;
having no clothes on them to cover those parts; or the skirts of their garments cut off, as David's servants were by the Ammonites, ( 2 Samuel 10:4 ) and this to humble and mortify the pride of the Egyptians.

Isaías 20:4 In-Context

2 en aquel tiempo el SEÑOR habló por medio de Isaías, hijo de Amoz, diciendo: Ve y quítate el cilicio de tus lomos, y desata las sandalias de tus pies. Así lo hizo, y anduvo desnudo y descalzo.
3 Y el SEÑOR dijo: Tal como mi siervo Isaías ha andado desnudo y descalzo por tres años como señal y símbolo contra Egipto y contra Cus ,
4 así el rey de Asiria llevará a los cautivos de Egipto y a los desterrados de Cus, jóvenes y viejos, desnudos, descalzos y descubiertas las nalgas, para verguenza de Egipto.
5 Entonces se desanimarán y se avergonzarán a causa de Cus, su esperanza, y de Egipto, su jactancia.
6 Y dirán los habitantes de esta costa en aquel día: "He aquí, tal ha sido nuestra esperanza, adonde huíamos por auxilio para ser librados del rey de Asiria; ¿y cómo escaparemos nosotros?"
