Isaiah 23:15-17
New International Version
15 At that time Tyre(A) will be forgotten for seventy years,(B) the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:
16 “Take up a harp, walk through the city,
you forgotten prostitute;(C)
play the harp well, sing many a song,
so that you will be remembered.”
17 At the end of seventy years,(D) the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution(E) and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.(F)
