And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years (for) a sign. Isaiah's symbolical action did not continue all this time, but at intervals, to keep it before the people's mind during that period (Rosenmuller). This is the only instance of a strictly symbolical act performed by Isaiah. With later prophets, as Jeremiah and Ezekiel, such acts were common. In some cases they were performed, not literally, but only in prophetic vision.
Wonder - rather, a portent; an omen: conveying a threat as to the future.
Upon - in reference to; against. As Isaiah my servant walked naked and barefoot at certain seasons and occasions from time to time, for the space of three years.
