Isaiah 23:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Now it will be in that day, that Tyre will be forgotten for (A)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 harlot:
16 Take your harp, walk about the city,
O forgotten harlot;
Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.
17 And it will be at (B)the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her harlot’s wages and will (C)play the harlot with all the kingdoms [a]on the face of the earth. 18 And her (D)gain and her harlot’s wages will be (E)set apart to Yahweh; it will not be treasured up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient food and choice attire for those who inhabit the presence of Yahweh.

Isaiah 23:15-18
English Standard Version
15 In that day Tyre will be forgotten for (A)seventy years, like the days[a] of one king. At the end of (B)seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:
16 “Take a harp;
go about the city,
O forgotten prostitute!
Make sweet melody;
sing many songs,
that you may be remembered.”
17 At the end of (C)seventy years, the Lord will visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and (D)will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. 18 Her merchandise and her wages will be holy to the Lord. It will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the Lord.
