Assyria Will Defeat Egypt and Cush

20 [^LIn the year that; ^Cabout 712 bc] Sargon king of Assyria sent ·a military commander [or his commander-in-chief] to Ashdod [^Ca Philistine city] to attack that city. So the commander attacked and captured it. ² ·Then [^LAt that time] the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Take the ·rough cloth [burlap; sackcloth; ^Ca sign of mourning] off your body, and take your sandals off your feet.” So Isaiah obeyed and walked around ·naked [stripped] and barefoot.
