New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Isaiah 20
2 at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going naked and barefoot.
3 And the Lord said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token against Egypt and Cush,
4 so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 Then they will be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their boast.
6 So the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, ’Behold, such is our hope, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and we, how shall we escape?’"
Isaiah 21
1 The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As windstorms in the Negev sweep on, It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.
2 A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.
3 For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
4 My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.
5 They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; "Rise up, captains, oil the shields,"
6 For thus the Lord says to me, "Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
