let them stand forth and save you,

who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons make known
what shall come upon you.

a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
3 For all nations have drunk[a]
(E)the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and (F)the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and (G)the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

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:

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.
