Isaiah, 20

1. In the year that the general sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, made an assault upon Ashdod, capturing it,

2. Yahweh gave a warning through Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, "Hang the sackcloth from your hips, take off your sandals and go." He did so, and walked naked and barefoot.

3. Then Yahweh said: Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and portent for Egypt and Ethiopia,

4. so will the king of Assyria lead away captives from Egypt and exiles from Ethiopia, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, their buttocks uncovered, to the disgrace of Egypt.

5. Those who pinned their hope upon Ethiopia and made a boast of Egypt will be frightened and put to shame.

6. On that day the inhabitants of this coastland will say, "Look at what happened to those we trusted and fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! What are we going to do now to save ourselves?"

Isaiah 20 is a short chapter describing the action of the prophet Isaiah, who was instructed by God to walk naked and barefoot for three years as a sign of judgment against Egypt and Ethiopia. In addition, God talks about the fall of the city of Asdode. Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 20:

2 Kings 18:21: "Now, see, you are trusting in Egypt, that crushed sugarcane stick, which pierces the hand of anyone who rests on it. . " This verse talks about the wrong confidence that King Hezekiah deposited in Egypt rather than trusting God.

Jeremiah 46:25: "The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said, Behold, I am bringing upon Amon, No, and Pharaoh, and on Egypt, together with their gods and kings, yes, Pharaoh and on those who trust him. " This verse talks about God's punishment about those who trust Egypt and their gods.

Isaiah 19:1: "Prophecy against Egypt: See, the Lord rides on a quick cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the heart of the Egyptians melts into them." This verse shows how God is powerful about Egypt and its gods.

Amos 1:8: "And I will destroy the inhabitant of Asdode and what holds the scepter of Ascalom; and I will return to my hand against echrom, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord God." This verse talks about the destruction of Asdode, a Philistia city, which is mentioned in Isaiah 20.

Isaiah 30:2: "who descend to Egypt without seeking my mouth; to strengthen themselves with Pharaoh's strength, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!" This verse shows how to trust Egypt and its strength instead of seeking God is a foolishness.





“Não queremos aceitar o fato de que o sofrimento é necessário para nossa alma e de que a cruz deve ser o nosso pão cotidiano. Assim como o corpo precisa ser nutrido, também a alma precisa da cruz, dia a dia, para purificá-la e desapegá-la das coisas terrenas. Não queremos entender que Deus não quer e não pode salvar-nos nem santificar-nos sem a cruz. Quanto mais Ele chama uma alma a Si, mais a santifica por meio da cruz.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
