Isaías 23:16

Listen to Isaías 23:16
16 Toma un arpa y camina por las calles,
ramera olvidada;
entona una dulce melodía y canta tus canciones
para que te vuelvan a recordar.

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 ¡Giman, oh barcos de Tarsis,
porque su puerto está destruido!
15 Durante setenta años, el tiempo que dura la vida de un rey, Tiro será olvidada; pero luego la ciudad volverá a la vida, como en la canción acerca de la prostituta:
16 Toma un arpa y camina por las calles,
ramera olvidada;
entona una dulce melodía y canta tus canciones
para que te vuelvan a recordar.
17 Así es, después de setenta años, el Señor
devolverá la vida a Tiro; pero no será distinta de lo que era antes. Volverá a ser una prostituta para todos los reinos del mundo.
18 Sin embargo, al final, sus ganancias le serán entregadas al Señor
. Sus riquezas no serán acumuladas, sino que darán buenos alimentos y vestidos de buena calidad a los sacerdotes del Señor
.
