Commentary on Isaiah 23:17

Theological / Devotional

Fornication. That is, the illicit relations into which Tyre entered with the other nations of earth for the sake of gain. Honor, right, justice, and decency were all forgotten for the sake of profit. The same expression is used concerning Babylon (Rev. 17:2 ; 18:3). The world was no different then from what it is today. The curse of Babylon and Tyre is the curse of our modern age.
