New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Isaiah 20
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.
7 "When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention."
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
