Isaías 23:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 23:17

And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years,
&c.] When the seventy years before mentioned are ended: that the Lord will visit Tyre;
not in judgment, as before, but in mercy: and she shall return to her hire;
trade and merchandise; that shall revive, and be as in times past: and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world,
upon the face of the earth;
be a mart of nations again, as in ( Isaiah 23:3 ) that is, trade and traffic with all nations of the earth, in the most ample and public manner; this is called committing fornication, in agreement with the simile of a harlot before used, whereunto Tyre is compared; as well as to observe the illicit ways and methods used in her commerce. The Targum is,

``and her merchandise shall be sufficient to all the kingdoms of the people, which are upon the face of the earth;''
and so the Septuagint,
``and shall be a mart to all the kingdoms of the world, upon the face of the earth.''
The phrase is used of mystical Tyre or Babylon, and of her merchants, in ( Revelation 18:3 ) .

Isaías 23:17 In-Context

15 Y acontecerá en aquel día que Tiro será olvidada por setenta años, como los días de un rey. Al cabo de los setenta años le sucederá a Tiro como en la canción de la ramera:
16 Toma la lira, anda por la ciudad, oh ramera olvidada; tañe hábilmente las cuerdas, canta muchas canciones, para que seas recordada.
17 Y sucederá al cabo de los setenta años que el SEÑOR visitará a Tiro. Entonces ella regresará a su paga de ramera, y se prostituirá con todos los reinos sobre la faz de la tierra.
18 Y sus ganancias y su paga de ramera serán consagradas al SEÑOR; no serán almacenadas ni acumuladas, sino que su ganancia llegará a ser suficiente alimento y vestidura selecta para aquellos que habiten en la presencia del SEÑOR.
