1. In the year H8141 that Tartan H8661 came H935 unto Ashdod H795 , (when Sargon H5623 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 him,) and fought H3898 against Ashdod H795 , and took H3920 it;
|
|
2. At that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go and take off the clothes made from hair, and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going without clothes and shoes.
|
2. At the same H1931 time H6256 spoke H1696 the LORD H3068 by H3027 Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 , saying H559 , Go H1980 and loose H6605 the sackcloth H8242 from off H4480 H5921 thy loins H4975 , and put off H2502 thy shoe H5275 from H4480 H5921 thy foot H7272 . And he did H6213 so H3651 , walking H1980 naked H6174 and barefoot H3182 .

3. The Lord said, "My servant Isaiah has gone without clothing and shoes for three years as something special to be seen against Egypt and Cush.

|
|
4. So the king of Assyria will take away the people of Egypt and Cush, young and old, without clothes or shoes. Their bodies will not be covered, to the shame of Egypt.
|
4. So H3651 shall the king H4428 of Assyria H804 lead away H5090 H853 the Egyptians H4714 prisoners H7628 , and the Ethiopians H3568 captives H1546 , young H5288 and old H2205 , naked H6174 and barefoot H3182 , even with their buttocks H8357 uncovered H2834 , to the shame H6172 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
5. Then they will be ashamed and troubled because of Cush their hope and Egypt their pride.
|
5. And they shall be afraid H2865 and ashamed H954 of Ethiopia H4480 H3568 their expectation H4007 , and of H4480 Egypt H4714 their glory H8597 .

6. The people living on this island will say in that day, 'See, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped, and to whom we ran for help to be saved from the king of Assyria. Now how can we get away?' "
|
6. And the inhabitant H3427 of this H2088 isle H339 shall say H559 in that H1931 day H3117 , Behold H2009 , such H3541 is our expectation H4007 , whither H834 H8033 we flee H5127 for help H5833 to be delivered H5337 from H4480 H6440 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 : and how H349 shall we H587 escape H4422 ?
