Isaiah 20:3-6

^{Tools
3} And the Lord said, “Even as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years as a ^(a)^(A)sign and token against Egypt and ^(b)^(B)Cush, ^{Tools
4} so the ^(C)king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, ^(D)young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the ^(c)shame of Egypt. ^{Tools
5} Then they will be ^(E)dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their ^(F)boast. ^{Tools
6} So the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, such is our hope, where we fled ^(G)for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and we, ^(H)how shall we escape?’”
