17At the end of the 70 years, the Lord will punish Tyre. He will let it return to its way of life as a prostitute. It will earn its living with all of the kingdoms on the face of the earth. 18But the money it earns will be set apart for the Lord. The money won’t be stored up or kept for Tyre. Instead, it will go to those who live the way the Lord wants them to. It will pay for plenty of food and fine clothes for them.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And this shall happen:

at the end of seventy years, Yahweh will visit Tyre,

and she will return to her harlot’s wages,

and she will commit fornication

with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

And this shall happen:

her merchandise and her harlot’s wages will be set apart for Yahweh;

it will not be stored up,

and it will not be hoarded,

but her merchandise will be for those who live before the presence of Yahweh,

for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord:

It shall not be treasured nor laid up;

For her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord,

To eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
