Isaiah 23:14-16
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 23:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 Not a fortress will be left standing, so tell all the seagoing ships[a] to mourn.
15 The city of Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years, which is the lifetime of a king. Then Tyre will be like that evil woman in the song:
16 You're gone and forgotten,
you evil woman!
So strut through the town,
singing and playing
your favorite tune
to be remembered again.

Isaiah 23:14-16
New International Version
15 At that time Tyre(D) will be forgotten for seventy years,(E) 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;(F)
play the harp well, sing many a song,
so that you will be remembered.”
