1 In the year that Tanathan having been sent by Arna king of Assyria went to Azotus and fought against it and took it,
2 at that time the Lord spoke to Esaias son of Amos saying, "Go and take the sackcloth from thy loins and loose thy sandals from thy feet; and having done so walk stripped and bare foot."
3 And the Lord said, "As my servant Esaias hath walked stripped and bare foot, three years; three years he shall be for signs and wonders to the Egyptians, and Ethiopians,
4 that in this manner the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, exposing to view the shame of Egypt.
5 And they being subdued shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians in whom the Egyptians had placed confidence; for they were their glory.
6 And in that day the inhabitants of this country will say, "Behold we trusted to flee for help to them, who were unable to deliver themselves from the king of Assyria: how then shall we escape?
