Tyre’s Glory Humbled · Isaiah 23

Open this scene in the reader →

15And in that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

16Take a lyre, go about the city, forgotten prostitute; play skillfully, sing many songs, so that you may be remembered.

17And it will happen at the end of seventy years that Yahweh will attend to Tyre, and she will return to her wages and prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the earth.

18And her merchandise and her wages will be holy to Yahweh; they will not be stored up or hoarded, for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh, for eating to satisfaction and for durable clothing.
