CHAPTER 20

The Near-Punishment of Egypt by Assyria

1. Isaiah walks naked and barefooted (Isaiah 20:1-2 ) 2. The meaning of his action (Isaiah 20:3 ) 3. Egypt punished by Assyria (Isaiah 20:4-6 ) A strong party in Jerusalem looked to Egypt for help from the threatening Assyrian invasion. This prophecy shows the utter hopelessness of expecting help from Egypt. The victory of Assyria over Egypt is predicted.
