This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Visit Tyre, to wit, in mercy, as this phrase is used, Rth_1:6 Psa_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.
