| The Basic English Online Bible (BEN) |
| Isaiah 20:1 | In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it; |
| Isaiah 20:2 | At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet. |
| Isaiah 20:3 | And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia, |
| Isaiah 20:4 | So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. |
| Isaiah 20:5 | And they will be full of fear, and will no longer have faith in Ethiopia which was their hope, or in Egypt which was their glory. |
| Isaiah 20:6 | And those living by the sea will say in that day, See the fate of our hope to whom we went for help and salvation from the king of Assyria: what hope have we then of salvation? |
