Isaiah23:16
16 Take an harp, go about the city , thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayst be remembred.
As Harlots use to do, to allure Customers.
So he calleth Tyre, partly because she enticed Merchants to deal with her by various Artifices, and even by dishonest Practices, as Harlots use: and partly because of the great and general Uncleanness which was both committed and tolerated in it.
By those who had forgotten thee, v. 15.
Marginal references: Or, O city.
