From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord will visit Tyre -He will restore her to her former wealth and magnificence. And she shall turn to her hire -The word ‘hire’ here denotes the wages or reward that is given to an harlot; and the idea which was commenced in the previous verses is here continued - of Tyre as an harlot - frivolous, splendid, licentious, and holding intercourse with strangers and foreigners. The gains of that commerce with other nations are here represented as her hire. And shall commit fornication ... -Shall again be the mart of commerceIsaiah 23:3; shall have contact with all the nations, and derive her support, splendor, luxury, from all.
