What does Isaiah 7:20 mean?

On that day, the Lord will hire a razor from across the Euphrates—the king of Assyria—to shave your head, your legs, and even your beard. Isaiah 7:20 - Modern Text Bible

(Being shaved like this was a sign of humiliation and defeat; God is saying Judah will be completely humbled by Assyria.)
