David went up the slope of the Mount of Olives. He was barefoot and crying. He covered his head to show his sorrow. Everyone with him was crying. They covered their heads too.

At that time Jehovah spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him: Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet. He did this and went around stripped and barefoot. Jehovah said: Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, read more. so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared to Egypt's shame.
