Isaiah · Chapter 20

[ edit] In þe ȝer þat Tharþan wente into Aſſote, whan hadde ſent hym Sargon, king of Aſſiries, and hadde fooȝte aȝen Aſote, and hadde taken it; in þat tyme ſpac þe Lord in þe hond of Iſaie, ſone of Amos, ſeiende, Go, and looſne þe ſac fro þi leendis, and þe ſhon tak fro þi feet. And he dide ſo, goende nakid and vnſhod. And þe Lord ſeide, As wente my ſeruaunt Iſaie nakid and vnſhod, of þre ȝeer tocne and wnder ſhal ben vp on Egipt, and vp on Eþiope; ſo dryuen ſhal þe king off Aſſiries þe caitifte of Egipt, and þe tranſmygracioun of Eþeope, ȝung and old, nakid womman and vnſhod, diſcouered þe erſis, to þe ſhenſhepe of Egipt.

And þei ſhul drede, and ben confoundid of Eþeope, þer hope, and of Egipt, þer glorie. And þe dwellere of þat yle ſhal ſeyn in þat day, Wheþer þis was oure hope, to whom wee floun in to helpe, þat þei ſhulden delyueren vs fro þe face of þe king of Aſſiries; and what maner ſhul we moun ſcapen?
