Isaiah 23:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 23:15

13 Behold, the land of the ^aChaldeans,
This people which was not;
Assyria founded it for ^bwild beasts of the desert.
They set up its towers,
They raised up its palaces,
And brought it to ruin.

14 ^aWail, you ships of Tarshish!
For your strength is laid waste.

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:

16 “Take a harp, go about the city,
You forgotten harlot;
Make sweet melody, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.”

17 And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and ^acommit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

18 Her gain and her pay ^awill be set apart for the Lord; it will not be treasured nor laid up, for her gain will be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for¹ fine clothing.
