Isaiah 23:15-17
Names of God Bible
15 When that day comes, Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years, the lifetime of one king. At the end of the 70 years, Tyre will be like the prostitute in this song:
16 “Take your lyre.
Go around in the city, you forgotten prostitute.
Make sweet music.
Sing many songs so that you’ll be remembered.”
17 At the end of 70 years Yahweh will come to help Tyre. Then she will go back to earning money as a prostitute. She will become a prostitute for all the world’s kingdoms.

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)
