Isaiah 23:15

At that time ¹  Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, ²  the typical life span of a king. ³  At the end of seventy years Tyre will try to attract attention again, like the prostitute in the popular song: ⁴ 

Jer 25:9-11,22; Jer 27:3-7; Jer 29:10; Eze 27:25; Eze 29:11; Da 7:14; Da 8:21; Ho 2:15; Re 17:10

¹ tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

² sn The number seventy is probably used in a stereotypical, nonliteral sense here to indicate a long period of time that satisfies completely the demands of God’s judgment.

³ tn Heb “like the days of a king.”

⁴ tn Heb “At the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre like the song of the prostitute.”
