Isaiah 20:4-6
Living Bible
4 For the king of Assyria will take away the Egyptians and Ethiopians as prisoners, making them walk naked and barefoot, both young and old, their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 5-6 Then how dismayed the Philistines[a] will be, who counted on “Ethiopia’s power” and their “glorious ally,” Egypt! And they will say, “If this can happen to Egypt, what chance have we?”

4 so the king(A) of Assyria will lead away stripped(B) and barefoot the Egyptian captives(C) and Cushite(D) exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared(E)—to Egypt’s shame.(F) 5 Those who trusted(G) in Cush(H) and boasted in Egypt(I) will be dismayed and put to shame.(J) 6 In that day(K) the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened(L) to those we relied on,(M) those we fled to for help(N) and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?(O)’”
