15 Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

You forgotten harlot;
Make sweet melody, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.”
You forgotten harlot;
Make sweet melody, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.”
