23:15. And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot. 23:16. Take a harp, go about the city, harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered. 23:17. And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 23:18. And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance. Sanctified to the Lord... This alludes to the conversion of the Gentiles. Isaias Chapter 24 The judgments of God upon all the sinners of the world. A remnant shall joyfully praise him. 24:1. Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof. 24:2. And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest: and as with the servant so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth. 24:3. With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word. 24:4. The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened. 24:5. And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant. 24:6. Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left. 24:7. The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merry have sighed. 24:8. The mirth of timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent. 24:9. They shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. 24:10. The city of vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh in. 24:11. There shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away. 24:12. Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates. 24:13. For it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended. 24:14. These shall lift up their voice, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise from the sea.
