20:1
In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria
sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
20:2At the same time spake
the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins,
and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and
barefoot.
(20:2-5) God tells Isaiah to take off all his clothes
and to wander about naked for three years as a "sign and a wonder." In this way he will be just like the Egyptian captives who will
walk about naked "with their buttocks uncovered." What the Bible says about nudism
(20:2) "At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah ... saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy
shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot." They put sackcloth on their loins.
(20:3) "And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder."
(20:4) "So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old,
naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt."
20:3And the LORD said, Like
as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and
barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon
Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
20:4So shall the king of
Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives,
young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the
shame of Egypt.
20:5
And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of
Egypt their glory.
20:6
And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our
expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of
Assyria: and how shall we escape?
