Isaiah 23:16 in Context — Isaiah 23
14 Aullad, naves de Tarsis; porque destruída es vuestra fortaleza.
15 Y acontecerá en aquel día, que Tiro será puesta en olvido por setenta años, como días de un rey. Después de los setenta años, cantará Tiro canción como de ramera.
16 Toma arpa, y rodea la ciudad, oh ramera olvidada: haz buena melodía, reitera la canción, porque tornes en memoria.
17 Y acontecerá, que al fin de los setenta años visitará Jehová á Tiro: y tornaráse á su ganancia, y otra vez fornicará con todos los reinos de la tierra sobre la haz de la tierra.
18 Mas su negociación y su ganancia será consagrada á Jehová: no se guardará ni se atesorará, porque su negociación será para los que estuvieren delante de Jehová, para que coman hasta hartarse, y vistan honradamente.
