關於埃及和古實的預言

20 亞述王撒珥根派元帥攻陷非利士的亞實突城那年, 耶和華吩咐亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞脫去身上的麻衣和腳上的鞋。以賽亞便遵命裸身赤足而行。 耶和華說:「我僕人以賽亞已經裸身赤足行走三年,作為懲罰埃及和古實的標記和預兆。 亞述王必把埃及和古實的老老少少裸身赤足地擄走,使埃及蒙受羞辱。 那些仰賴古實、仗著埃及誇口的人必驚恐羞愧。 那時,沿海一帶的居民必說,『看啊!我們投靠他們,指望他們救我們脫離亞述,他們竟落到這個地步!我們怎能逃脫呢?』」

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

At the same time spake the Lord 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.

And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
