Isaiah 23:17

Visit Tyre, to wit, in mercy, as this phrase is used, Ruth 1:6 Psalms 65:9, and elsewhere. Her hire: the Hebrew word properly signifies, the hire of an harlot; which agrees well with the fornication in the next clause; although these phrases are not to be understood properly, but metaphorically, of trading or commerce with others. Shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world; shall trade promiscuously with people of all sorts of nations, as harlots entertain all comers.
