ISAIAH 20

[당찬 엄마]

A Prophecy Against Egypt and Cush

   1 In the year that the supreme commander, sent by

Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked

and captured it --  2 at that time the LORD spoke through

Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, "Take off the

sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your

feet." And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.

   3 Then the LORD said, "Just as my servant Isaiah has

gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign

and portent against Egypt and Cush,   4 so the king

of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the

Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old,

with buttocks bared--to Egypt's shame.  5 Those who

trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be dismayed

and put to shame.  6 In that day the people who live on

this coast will say, 'See what has happened to those we

relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance

from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?' "
