Isaiah 20 (YLT)

Young's Literal Translation

1 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth it,

2 at that time spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, `Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,' and he doth so, going naked and barefoot.

3 And Jehovah saith, `As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,

4 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered--the nakedness of Egypt;

5 and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,

6 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day--Lo, thus <FI>is<Fi> our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape--we?'
