Isaiah 23:15-18
New American Standard Bible
15 Now on that day 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 prostitute:
16 Take your harp, wander around the city,
You forgotten prostitute;
Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.
17 It will come about at (B)the end of seventy years that the Lord will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her prostitute’s wages and (C)commit prostitution with all the kingdoms [a]on the face of the earth. 18 Her (D)profit and her prostitute’s wages will be (E)sacred to the Lord; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her profit will become sufficient food and magnificent attire for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord.

Isaiah 23:15-18
Christian Standard Bible
15 On that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the life span of one king. At the end of seventy years, what the song says about the prostitute will happen to Tyre:
16 Pick up your lyre,
stroll through the city,
you forgotten prostitute.
Play skillfully,
sing many a song
so that you will be remembered.
17 And at the end of the seventy years,(A) the Lord will restore Tyre(B) and she will go back into business, prostituting herself with all the kingdoms of the world throughout the earth. 18 But her profits and wages will be dedicated to the Lord. They will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live in the Lord’s presence, to provide them with ample food and sacred clothing.
