Yeshayah 23:13-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. Behold, Eretz Kasdim (land of Chaldeans); this people was not, till the Assyrian made it for wild creatures; they raise up the siege towers thereof, they destroyed the palaces thereof; and turned her to ruin.

14. Howl, ye oniyyot Tarshish; for your stronghold is destroyed.

15. And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tzor shall be forgotten shiv'im shanah, according to the yamim of melech echad; after the end of shiv'im shanah shall Tzor sing as a zonah.

16. Take a kinnor, go about the Ir, thou zonah that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many shir, that thou mayest be remembered.

17. And it shall come to pass at the end of shiv'im shanah, that Hashem will visit Tzor, and she shall return to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the mamlakhot HaAretz upon the face of ha'adamah.

18. And her gain and her hire shall be kodesh to Hashem; it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her [Tzor's] earnings shall be for them that live before Hashem, to eat sufficiently, and for choice clothing.
