Isaiah23:17
17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre , and she shall turn to her hire , and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
To wit, in mercy, as this Phrase is used Ruth 1. 6. Psal. 65. 9. and elsewhere.
The Hebrew Word properly signifies, the hire of an harlot; which agrees well with the fornication in the next Clause: although these Phrases are not to be understood properly, but metaphorically, of Trading or Commerce with others.
Shall trade promiscuously with People of all sorts and Nations, as Harlots entertain all Comers.
