Isaiah 23:16-17

stroll through the city,
prostitute forgotten by men.
Play skillfully,
sing many a song,
and you will be thought of again.
17 And at the end of the 70 years,(A) the Lord will restore Tyre(B) and she will go back into business, prostituting herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
