2 At that time the LORD told Isaiah, son of Amoz, |Take off the sackcloth that you are wearing, and take off your sandals!| Isaiah did this and walked around barefoot and naked. 3 Then the LORD said, |My servant Isaiah has gone barefoot and naked for three years as a sign and as an omen to Egypt and Sudan. 4 The king of Assyria will lead away both the young and the old-captives from Egypt and exiles from Sudan. They will be barefoot and naked. Their buttocks will be exposed in order to disgrace Egypt. 5 Then the people will be shattered and ashamed because Sudan was their hope and Egypt was their beauty. 6 When that day comes, those who live on this coastland will say, 'Look at what has happened to our hope. We ran [to Egypt] for help to be rescued from the king of Assyria. How can we escape?'| Isaiah 20:2-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
