1 El año que Sargón, rey de Asiria, envió al comandante en jefe de su ejército contra la ciudad filistea de Asdod y la tomó, 2 el Señor ordenó a Isaías, hijo de Amoz, que se quitara la ropa, inclusive los zapatos, y anduviera desnudo y descalzo. E Isaías hizo como se le mandó. 3 Entonces el Señor dijo: Mi siervo Isaías, que durante estos tres años ha andado desnudo y descalzo, es símbolo de la tremenda tribulación que traeré sobre Egipto y Etiopía. 4 Porque el rey de Asiria se llevará cautivos a los egipcios y etíopes, obligándolos a andar desnudos y descalzos, tanto a jóvenes como a ancianos, con las nalgas al viento para vergüenza de Egipto. 5 ¡Y qué turbación la de los filisteos que confiaban en el «poder de Etiopía», y en su «glorioso aliado» Egipto! Y dirán: «Si esto le ocurre a Egipto, ¿qué será de nosotros?».

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Since Adam too was "naked" in paradise, "and was not ashamed;" and Isaiah was "naked, and barefoot," and more glorious than all the Jews; and Joseph also, when he stripped himself, did then more than ever shine forth.
