The sign of the stripped prophet
In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod — when Sargon king of Assyria sent him — and fought against Ashdod and took it, At that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz: Go and take the coarse mourning cloth off your body and the sandals off your feet. And he did it, going about naked and barefoot. Then the LORD said: The way my servant Isaiah has gone about naked and barefoot for three years, as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Ethiopia, so the king of Assyria will lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. And they'll be dismayed and ashamed over Ethiopia, who was their hope, and over Egypt, who was their boast. The people of this coast will say that day, 'Look what happened to the ones we counted on, the ones we ran to for rescue from the king of Assyria. How are we supposed to escape now?'
In the year the commander came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, and fought against Ashdod and took it — at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz: Go and take the sackcloth off your body and the sandals off your feet. And he did it, going about stripped and barefoot. Then the Lord said: The way my servant Isaiah has gone about stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush, that's how the king of Assyria will lead away the prisoners of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, stripped and barefoot, with their backsides bare — the shame of Egypt. And they'll be dismayed and ashamed over Cush, who was their hope, and over Egypt, who was their boast. And whoever lives along this coast will say on that day: Look at that — that's what happened to the ones we counted on, the ones we ran to for help to get us out from under the king of Assyria. So how do we get away?
In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it; At 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. And 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; 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. And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 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?

that's how the king of Assyria will lead away the prisoners of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, stripped and barefoot, with their backsides bare — the shame of Egypt.
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.
