2 (H20:1-2)Kun kolme vuotta oli kulunut, Assyrian kuninkaan Sargonin joukkojen ylipäällikkö marssi Asdodiin, piiritti kaupungin ja valloitti sen.4 niin kuljettaa Assyrian kuningas sotavankeja Egyptistä ja pakkosiirtolaisia Nubiasta, nuoria ja vanhoja, alastomina, jalat ja pakarat paljaina. Egypti ilki alasti!5 Kauhun ja häpeän valtaan joutuvat silloin myös ne, jotka ovat toiveikkaina katselleet Nubiaan ja ylpeilleet Egyptin ystävyydestä.

1 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth it,2 at that time spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, `Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,` and he doth so, going naked and barefoot.3 And Jehovah saith, `As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,4 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered -- the nakedness of Egypt;5 and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,6 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day -- Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape -- we?`
