Isaías 20:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 20:5

And they shall be afraid and ashamed
That is, those that trusted and depended upon the Egyptians and Ethiopians, particularly the Jews after mentioned, shall be "afraid" that it will be their turn next, that they also shall be taken and carried captive; and they shall be "ashamed" that they have put their trust and confidence in those nations, and not in the Lord: of Ethiopia their expectation;
from whom they expected assistance and protection, particularly when Tirhakah king of Ethiopia went out against the king of Assyria, that he would have been a match for him, and have overcome him, and so have freed them from such a powerful enemy: and of Egypt their glory;
who was their ally, and a very potent one, and in whom they gloried; but now should be ashamed, when both those people on whom they relied were carried captive.

Isaías 20:5 In-Context

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?"
