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
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.
