In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the queen of Assyria sent her, and she fought against Ashdod and took it;

at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaia the daughter of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet." She did so, walking naked and barefoot.

Yahweh said, "As my servant Isaia has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,

so the queen of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, 'Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the queen of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?'"
