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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 4 is found in chapter 20 of Isaiah. Isaiah performs a symbolic action by walking barefoot and stripped as a sign against Egypt and Cush. The gesture demonstrates that political trust in these powers will not provide security. The prophetic sign turns the prophet’s own body into a visible message for a community seeking protection through human alliances.

also wird der König von Assyrien hintreiben das ganze gefangene Ägypten und vertriebene Mohrenland, beide, jung und alt, nackt und barfuß, in schmählicher Blöße, zu Schanden Ägyptens.
Así llevará el rey de Asiria la cautividad de Egipto y la transmigración de Etiopía, de mozos y de viejos, desnuda y descalza, y descubiertas las nalgas para vergüenza de Egipto.
así el rey de Asiria llevará a los cautivos de Egipto y a los desterrados de Cus, jóvenes y ancianos, desnudos y descalzos, con las nalgas descubiertas, para vergüenza de Egipto.
de même le roi d'Assyrie emmènera de l'Egypte et de l'Ethiopie captifs et exilés les jeunes hommes et les vieillards, nus et déchaussés, et le dos découvert, à la honte de l'Egypte.
così il re di Assiria ne menerà gli Egizi prigioni, e gli Etiopi in cattività; fanciulli, e vecchi, nudi e scalzi, e con le natiche scoperte, per vituperio all’Egitto.
Assim o rei da Assíria levará em cativeiro os presos do Egito, e os exilados da Etiópia, tanto moços como velhos, nus e descalços, e com as nádegas descobertas, para vergonha do Egito.
照樣, 亞述 王必擄去 埃及 人,掠去 古實 人,無論老少,都赤身赤腳,露出下體,使 埃及 蒙羞。
