1En el año que vino el Tartán a Asdod, cuando lo envió Sargón rey de Asiria, y peleó contra Asdod y la tomó;
2en aquel tiempo habló Jehová por medio de Isaías hijo de Amoz, diciendo: Ve y quita el cilicio de tus lomos, y descalza las sandalias de tus pies. Y lo hizo así, andando desnudo y descalzo.
3Y dijo Jehová: De la manera que anduvo mi siervo Isaías desnudo y descalzo tres años, por señal y pronóstico sobre Egipto y sobre Etiopía,
4así llevará el rey de Asiria a los cautivos de Egipto y los deportados de Etiopía, a jóvenes y a ancianos, desnudos y descalzos, y descubiertas las nalgas para vergüenza de Egipto.
5Y se turbarán y avergonzarán de Etiopía su esperanza, y de Egipto su gloria.
6Y dirá en aquel día el morador de esta costa: Mirad qué tal fue nuestra esperanza, a donde nos acogimos por socorro para ser libres de la presencia del rey de Asiria; ¿y cómo escaparemos nosotros?

Versículo 2
I. by--literally, "by the hand of" (compare Eze 3:14).
by--literally, "by the hand of" (compare Eze 3:14).
sackcloth--the loose outer garment of coarse dark hair-cloth worn by mourners (Sa2 3:31) and by prophets, fastened at the waist by a girdle (Mat 3:4; Kg2 1:8; Zac 13:4).
naked--rather, "uncovered"; he merely put off the outer sackcloth, retaining still the tunic or inner vest (Sa1 19:24; Amo 2:16; Joh 21:7); an emblem to show that Egypt should be stripped of its possessions; the very dress of Isaiah was a silent exhortation to repentance.

three years--Isaiah's symbolical action did not continue all this time, but at intervals, to keep it before the people's mind during that period [ROSENMULLER]. Rather, join "three years" with "sign," a three years' sign, that is, a sign that a three years' calamity would come on Egypt and Ethiopia [BARNES], (Isa 8:18). This is the only instance of a strictly symbolical act performed by Isaiah. With later prophets, as Jeremiah and Ezekiel, such acts were common. In some cases they were performed, not literally, but only in prophetic vision.
wonder--rather, "omen"; conveying a threat as to the future [G. V. SMITH].
upon--in reference to, against.

buttocks uncovered--BELZONI says that captives are found represented thus on Egyptian monuments (Isa 47:2-3; Nah 3:5, Nah 3:8-9), where as here, Egypt and Ethiopia are mentioned as in alliance.

they--the Philistine allies of Egypt who trusted in it for help against Assyria. A warning to the party among the Jews, who, though Judah was then the subordinate ally of Assyria, were looking to Egypt as a preferable ally (Isa 30:7). Ethiopia was their "expectation"; for Palestine had not yet obtained, but hoped for alliance with it. Egypt was their "glory," that is, boast (Isa 13:19); for the alliance with it was completed.

isle--that is, coast on the Mediterranean--Philistia, perhaps Phœnicia (compare Isa 23:2; Isa 11:11; Isa 13:22; Psa 72:10).
we--emphatical; if Egypt, in which we trusted, was overcome, how shall we, a small weak state, escape?
He does not narrate the event, but graphically supposes himself a watchman in Babylon, beholding the events as they pass.
