And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

The verse 5 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.

Und sie werden erschrecken und mit Schanden bestehen über dem Mohrenland, darauf sie sich verließen, und über den Ägyptern, welcher sie sich rühmten.
Y se turbarán y avergonzarán de Etiopía su esperanza, y de Egipto su gloria.
Quedarán aterrados y avergonzados por Cus, su esperanza, y por Egipto, su jactancia.
Alors on sera dans l'effroi et dans la confusion, à cause de l'Ethiopie en qui l'on avait mis sa confiance, et de l'Egypte dont on se glorifiait.
E saranno spaventati e confusi, per l’Etiopia, alla quale riguardavano; e per l’Egitto, ch’era la lor gloria.
E assombrar-se-ão, e envergonhar-se-ão, por causa dos etíopes, sua esperança, como também dos egípcios, sua glória.
以色列 人必驚惶羞愧,因為他們仰望 古實 ,以 埃及 為榮。
