Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 20:3

“And the Lord said: As my servant Isaias hath walked, naked and barefoot, it shall be a sign and a wonder of three years upon Egypt, and upon Ethiopia,”

“And the Lord said. Here the signification of the aforementioned deed is set out. And first, as to the time for which the persecution lasted: three years, signified by the three days in which he went naked: a day for a year I have appointed to you (Ezek 4:6).”
