Ésaïe 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.

Ésaïe 20:4 In-Context

2 en ce temps-là l'Eternel adressa la parole à Esaïe, fils d'Amots, et lui dit: Va, détache le sac de tes reins et Îte tes souliers de tes pieds. Il fit ainsi, marcha nu et déchaussé.
3 Et l'Eternel dit: De mĂȘme que mon serviteur EsaĂŻe marche nu et dĂ©chaussĂ©, ce qui sera dans trois ans un signe et un prĂ©sage pour l'Egypte et pour l'Ethiopie,
4 de mĂȘme le roi d'Assyrie emmĂšnera de l'Egypte et de l'Ethiopie captifs et exilĂ©s les jeunes hommes et les vieillards, nus et dĂ©chaussĂ©s, et le dos dĂ©couvert, Ă  la honte de l'Egypte.
5 Alors on sera dans l'effroi et dans la confusion, Ă  cause de l'Ethiopie en qui l'on avait mis sa confiance, et de l'Egypte dont on se glorifiait.
6 Et les habitants de cette cĂŽte diront en ce jour: VoilĂ  ce qu'est devenu l'objet de notre attente, sur lequel nous avions comptĂ© pour ĂȘtre secourus, pour ĂȘtre dĂ©livrĂ©s du roi d'Assyrie! Comment Ă©chapperons-nous?
