Isaiah 20:2 at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going naked and barefoot. 3And the LORD said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token against Egypt and Cush, 4so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

The woman whose boyfriend forced her to walk the streets of New York City completely naked is breaking her silence following his arrest.
The 22-year-old woman, whose identity is not being revealed, claims that Jason Melo, 24, choked and punched her in front of their two-month-old daughter before making her strip off all her clothing and walk around their block.
She also claims Melo told her that if she did not do as he asked he would throw her down the stairs and slash her face.
Her claims were revealed as Melo appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday. He was charged with assault in the third degree, menacing in the second degree, and endangering the welfare of a child
In a series of ten Instagram videos posted yesterday, Melo, speaking in Spanish, appears to confess to the crime before begging for forgiveness, saying:'I was wrong to do what I did, sending her out naked, I apologize. If I could turn back time I wouldn't do it.'
He then adds in another video; 'Please forgive me, I want you all to know that I am not as bad as you think.'

'I was so scared of him, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't even think,' the woman said in an interview with Univision.
'He started threatening me, he threatened to slash my face.'
Please forgive me, I want you all to know that I am not as bad as you think. I just want to tell you all that I feel bad, as a man. You don't know what was going through my mind

She said that since the incident occurred she has been hiding out in her apartment afraid while she takes care of her newborn daughter.
The woman also provided photos of previous abuse she claims to have suffered at the hands of Melo, and can be seen in one photo with redness, brushing and scratching on her face.
And despite Melo's repeated apologies, just 24 hours before he expressed how sorry he was he had posted another video in which a man mocks the woman's cruel punishment by imitating her walking around naked.
In other videos posted at the top of his page, Melo said after the incident: 'I was wrong to do what I did, sending her out naked, I apologize. If I could turn back time I wouldn't do it.
'Please forgive me, I want you all to know that I am not as bad as you think. I just want to tell you all that I feel bad, as a man. You don't know what was going through my mind.
'I came from a woman, I have a daughter, and I have two sisters. But look what you pushed me to do. I am sorry for everything.
'This the last video I will make, I don't want any interviews, I don't want anything.'
In a written comment below the final video, he writes: 'Last thing from me, just that I feel so bad about this cruelty that it's opened my eyes to a person I loved blindly.
