0:00.0	A reading from the book of Isaiah.
0:03.0	In the year that the commander-in-chief, who was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and captured it.
0:12.0	At that time, the Lord spoke by Isaiah, the son of Amaz, saying,
0:16.0	Go and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet.
0:20.0	And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. Then the Lord said, Go and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet.
0:23.4	And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

1:19.2	Therefore my loins are filled with anguish. Pangs have seized me like the pangs of a woman in labor.
1:24.8	I am bowed down so that I cannot hear. I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
1:29.5	My heart staggers. Horror has appalled me. The twilight I longed for has been turned for me
1:34.7	into trembling. They prepare the table. They spread the rugs. They eat, they drink. Arise,
