Isaías 23:16

Listen to Isaías 23:16
16 “Pegue a harpa, vá pela cidade,ó prostituta esquecida;toque a harpa, cante muitas canções,para se lembrarem de você”.

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 Pranteiem, vocês, navios de Társis;destruída está a sua fortaleza!
15 Naquele tempo, Tiro será esquecida por setenta anos, o tempo da vida de um rei. Mas, no fim dos setenta anos, acontecerá com Tiro o que diz a canção da prostituta:
16 “Pegue a harpa, vá pela cidade,ó prostituta esquecida;toque a harpa, cante muitas canções,para se lembrarem de você”.
17 No fim dos setenta anos o SENHOR se lembrará de Tiro. Esta voltará ao seu ofício de prostituta e servirá a todos os reinos que há na face da terra.
18 Mas o seu lucro e a sua renda serão separados para o SENHOR; não serão guardados nem depositados. Seus lucros irão para os que vivem na presença do SENHOR, para que tenham bastante comida e roupas finas.
