Isaiah 20:4-6
International Standard Version
4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the Egyptian captives and exiles from Cush,[a] both the young and the old, naked and barefoot—with even their buttocks uncovered—to the shame[b] of Egypt. 5 Then they will be dismayed and put to shame because of Cush,[c] their hope, and Egypt, their jewel.[d] 6 At that time, the inhabitants of this coastland will say, ‘See, this is what has happened to those on whom we counted and relied[e] for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How, then, can we escape?’”
