Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 20:2

_ _ by — literally, “by the hand of” (compare Ezekiel 3:14).

_ _ sackcloth — the loose outer garment of coarse dark hair-cloth worn by mourners (2 Samuel 3:31) and by prophets, fastened at the waist by a girdle (Matthew 3:4; 2 Kings 1:8; Zechariah 13:4).

_ _ naked — rather, “uncovered”; he merely put off the outer sackcloth, retaining still the tunic or inner vest (1 Samuel 19:24; Amos 2:16; John 21:7); an emblem to show that Egypt should be stripped of its possessions; the very dress of Isaiah was a silent exhortation to repentance.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 20:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 20:2

Sackcloth — Which he wore in token of his grief for the calamities that were already come upon Israel, and were coming upon Judah. Naked — Not wholly naked, but without his upper garment, as slaves and prisoners used to do, whose posture he was to represent. Bare — foot — After the manner of mourners and captives.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 20:2

At the same time spoke the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the (d) sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

(d) Which signifies that the prophet lamented the misery that he saw prepared before the three years that he went naked and barefooted.
