Isaiah 20:1-2

International Standard Version

The Conquest of Egypt and Cush

20 In the year that the supreme commander, sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod, attacked it, and captured it— ² at that time the Lord spoke through Amoz’s son Isaiah: “Go loosen the sackcloth that’s around your waist,^[a] and take your sandals^[b] off your feet.” So that’s what he did: he went around naked and barefoot.
