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?

The verse 6 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 die Einwohner dieser Küste werden sagen zu derselben Zeit: Ist das unsre Zuversicht, dahin wir flohen um Hilfe, daß wir errettet würden von dem König von Assyrien? Wie könnten denn wir entrinnen?
Y dirá en aquel día el morador de esta isla: Mirad qué tal fue nuestra esperanza, donde nos acogimos por socorro para ser libres de la presencia del rey de Asiria: ¿y cómo escaparemos?
En aquel día los habitantes de esta costa dirán: “¡Miren en qué ha quedado nuestra esperanza, adonde huimos en busca de ayuda para librarnos del rey de Asiria! ¿Cómo escaparemos nosotros?”».
Et les habitants de cette côte diront en ce jour: Voilà ce qu'est devenu l'objet de notre attente, sur lequel nous avions compté pour être secourus, pour être délivrés du roi d'Assyrie! Comment échapperons-nous?
Ed in quel giorno gli abitatori di questo paese deserto diranno: Ecco, così è avvenuto a colui, a cui noi riguardavamo, dove noi eravamo fuggiti per soccorso, per esser liberati dal re degli Assiri; e come scamperemmo noi? Il carico del deserto del mare
Então os moradores desta ilha dirão naquele dia: Vede que tal é a nossa esperança, à qual fugimos por socorro, para nos livrarmos da face do rei da Assíria! Como pois escaparemos nós?
「那時,沿海一帶的居民必說:『看哪,我們素來所仰望的,就是為躲避 亞述 王所逃往 求救的,不過如此!我們怎能逃脫呢?』」
