You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
16 Take [laqach] an harp [kinnowr], go about [cabab] the city [`iyr], thou harlot [zanah] that
hast been forgotten [shakach]; make sweet [yatab] melody [nagan], sing many [rabah] songs [shiyr], that thou
mayest be remembered [zakar]. KJV-Interlinear
16 “Take a harp; go about the city, O forgotten prostitute! Make
sweet melody; sing many songs, that you may be remembered.” ESV
Isaiah continues the description that was begun in the previous verse, calling to the prostitute, which is otherwise a reference to Tyre, or the old ways and the old habits of life.
This is a chiding of sorts. Go ahead and sing, and dance and go around calling out to anyone who is able to listen. Maybe someone will remember your glamor. Maybe someone will recall your enticements. Maybe your old ways will return. Maybe others will remember and resume their interactions, as go the interactions of prostitutes.
But it is not to be. Tyre is gone, never to return. And in just a couple of verses, we will see that all of her efforts, all of her production, all of her possessions, will go to others. Others that had nothing to do with her original activity. Others that rejected her activity. Others who will inherit the fruits of her labor.
And that of course will be those who survive and enter into the Millennium with Christ.
Evil will try to make itself remembered, but that will not happen.
