Isaiah 23:15

¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

And it shall come to pass in that day {H3117}, that Tyre {H6865} shall be forgotten {H7911} seventy {H7657} years {H8141}, according to the days {H3117} of one {H259} king {H4428}: after the end {H7093} of seventy {H7657} years {H8141} shall Tyre {H6865} sing {H7892} as an harlot {H2181}.

When that day comes, Tzor will be forgotten for seventy years, the lifetime of a king. After seventy years, its fate will be the same as that of the prostitute in this song:

At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it shall be unto Tyre as in the song of the harlot.
