Isaías 23:16

Listen to Isaías 23:16
16 Toma a harpa, rodeia a cidade, ó prostituta, entregue ao esquecimento; toca bem, canta muitos cânticos, para que haja memória de ti.

Isaías 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 23:16

Take a harp, go about the city
As harlots used to do, that by their music, both vocal and instrumental, they might allure men into their company to commit fornication with them; so Tyre is directed to, or rather this is a prophecy that she should take very artful and ensnaring methods to restore her commerce and merchandise:

thou harlot that hast been forgotten; (See Gill on Isaiah 23:15):

make sweet melody;
or, "do well by striking" F11; that is, the harp in her hand; strike it well with art and skill, so as to make melody, and give pleasure:

sing many songs;
or, "multiply a song" F12; sing one after another, till the point is carried aimed at:

that thou mayest be remembered;
men may took at thee again, and trade with thee as formerly, who had been so long forgotten and neglected.

Isaías 23:16 In-Context

14 Uivai, navios de Társis; porque está desolada a vossa fortaleza
15 Naquele dia Tiro será posta em esquecimento por setenta anos, conforme os dias dum rei; mas depois de findos os setenta anos, sucederá a Tiro como se diz na canção da prostituta.
16 Toma a harpa, rodeia a cidade, ó prostituta, entregue ao esquecimento; toca bem, canta muitos cânticos, para que haja memória de ti.
17 No fim de setenta anos o Senhor visitará a Tiro, e ela tornará � sua ganância de prostituta, e fornicará com todos os reinos que há sobre a face da terra.
18 E será consagrado ao Senhor o seu comércio e a sua ganância de prostituta; não se entesourará, nem se guardará; mas o seu comércio será para os que habitam perante o Senhor, para que comam suficientemente; e tenham vestimenta esplêndida.
