1 King Sargon of Assyria gave orders for his army commander to capture the city of Ashdod.
2 About this same time the Lord had told me, “Isaiah, take off everything, including your sandals!” I did this and went around naked and barefoot
3 for three years.Then the Lord said:What Isaiah has done is a warning to Egypt and Ethiopia.
4 Everyone in these two countries will be led away naked and barefoot by the king of Assyria. Young or old, they will be taken prisoner, and Egypt will be disgraced.
5 They will be confused and frustrated, because they depended on Ethiopia and bragged about Egypt.
