Jehovah said: Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, 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. read more.
Those who trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be afraid and put to shame. That day the people who live on this coast will say: 'See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?'

Woe to the land of whirring wings which lies beyond the rivers of Ethiopia (Cush). It sends messengers by sea in boats made of reeds that skim over the surface of the water. Go, swift messengers, to a tall and smooth-skinned people, a people who are feared far and near, a strong and aggressive nation, whose land is divided by rivers. Look when someone raises a flag on the mountains. Listen when someone blows a ram's horn, all you inhabitants of the world, you who live on the earth. read more.
Jehovah says this to me: I will be still and watch from my dwelling place. My presence will be like scorching heat in the sunshine, like heavy dew in the heat of the harvest. Before the harvest, when blossoms are gone and grapes are ripening from blossoms, he will cut off the shoots with pruning shears and chop off and take away the spreading branches. They will all be left for the birds of prey on the mountains and the wild animals. The birds of prey will feed on them in the summer. All the wild animals on earth will feed on them in the winter.

Sudan, Put, Lud, all the Arabs, the Libyans, and people from the promised land will die in battle.' This is what Jehovah says: 'All Egypt's allies will die. Egypt's strength will disappear. People will die in war from Migdol to Syene, declares the Lord Jehovah!' read more.
Egypt will become the most desolate country in the world! Egypt's cities will lie in ruins. They will be ruined more than other cities. Then they will know that I am Jehovah, because I will set fire to Egypt and all her defenders will be killed. On that day I will send messengers in ships to terrify those who live in safety in Sudan. The people of Sudan will be in anguish when Egypt is in trouble. That day is coming!'

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The tent cloths of the land of Midian trembled. Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers? Or is your fury against the sea? You rode upon the horses and your chariots are salvation. Your bow was made quite bare. The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. You split the earth with your rivers. The mountains saw you and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep [water] uttered its voice, and lifted up its hands (power) on high. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation. They went away at the light of your arrows and the shining of your glittering spear. You marched through the land in indignation. You trampled the nations in anger.
