Versi relativi a Isaiah, 20:

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.
