16 Take a harp, go about the city, forgotten harlot; 3 do well in playing, do much singing, that thou mayest be remembered.

[*](8. i.e. crownogiving city. ‘traffickers,’ or ‘traders’: same word as ‘Canaanites’: cf. ver. 11.)[*](10. Or, ‘over thy land’: ‘river,’ word used specially of the Nile: e.g. xix. 7.)[*](13. Or, ‘ overthrew her palaces.)

17 And it shall be, from the end of seventy years, the Lord shall visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.

18 And her gain and her hire shall be holy to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor stored up ; but her gain shall belong to those that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for stately clothing.

XXIV. 1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it void, and overturneth the face thereof, and scattereth the inhabitants thereof.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
