3 Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years (A)as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,[a] 4 so shall the (B)king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt. 5 (C)Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast.
