The Book of Isaiah ... verse by verse (2)

Isaiah 20:1 In the year that the commander in chief, who was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and captured it—

Isaiah 20:3 Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,

Isaiah 20:5 Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast.
