God’s Word Translation
Isaiah 23:14-18
14Cry loudly, you ships of Tarshish, because your fortress will be destroyed.
15When that day comes, Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years, the lifetime of one king. At the end of the 70 years, Tyre will be like the prostitute in this song:
16“Take your lyre. Go around in the city, you forgotten prostitute. Make sweet music. Sing many songs so that you’ll be remembered.”
17At the end of 70 years the Lord will come to help Tyre. Then she will go back to earning money as a prostitute. She will become a prostitute for all the world’s kingdoms.
18Her profits and her earnings will be turned over to the Lord for his holy purpose. It won’t be stored or hoarded. Her merchandise will belong to those who live in the presence of the Lord so that they will have plenty of food and expensive clothing.
