Isaiah 20:3-6

English Standard Version

³ Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years ^(A)as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,^{[a] 4} so shall the ^(B)king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt. ^5 (C)Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast. ⁶ And the inhabitants of ^(D)this coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and ^(E)to whom we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?’”
