2 at the same time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and remove (A)the sackcloth from your [a]body, and take your sandals off your feet.” And he did so, (B)walking naked and barefoot.
3 Then the Lord said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years (C)for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia, 4 so shall the (D)king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, (E)with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore (B)the riches they have acquired have perished.
37 “For (C)every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
On all the hands shall be cuts, and (D)on the loins sackcloth—
38 A general lamentation
On all the (E)housetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have (F)broken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.
39 “They shall wail:
‘How she is broken down!
How Moab has turned her back with shame!’
So Moab shall be a derision
And a dismay to all those about her.”

And (A)for the [a]dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
Because they are burned up,

Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
(B)Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
They are gone.
