Isaiah, 20

1. The year the general-in-chief, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and stormed and captured it

2. at that time Yahweh spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz and said, 'Go, undo the sackcloth round your waist and take the sandals off your feet.' And he did so, and walked about, naked and barefoot.

3. Yahweh then said, 'As my servant Isaiah has been walking about naked and barefoot for the last three years as a sign and portent for Egypt and Cush,

4. so the king of Assyria will lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, their buttocks bared, to the shame of Egypt.

5. Then they will be afraid and ashamed of Cush their hope and Egypt their pride,

6. and the inhabitants of this coast will say on that day, "Look what has happened to our hope, to those to whom we fled for help, to escape from the king of Assyria. How are we going to escape?" '

Jeremiah 46:25: "The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said, Behold, I am bringing upon Amon, No, and Pharaoh, and on Egypt, together with their gods and kings, yes, Pharaoh and on those who trust him. " This verse talks about God's punishment about those who trust Egypt and their gods.

Isaiah 19:1: "Prophecy against Egypt: See, the Lord rides on a quick cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the heart of the Egyptians melts into them." This verse shows how God is powerful about Egypt and its gods.

Amos 1:8: "And I will destroy the inhabitant of Asdode and what holds the scepter of Ascalom; and I will return to my hand against echrom, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord God." This verse talks about the destruction of Asdode, a Philistia city, which is mentioned in Isaiah 20.

Isaiah 30:2: "who descend to Egypt without seeking my mouth; to strengthen themselves with Pharaoh's strength, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!" This verse shows how to trust Egypt and its strength instead of seeking God is a foolishness.
