What would happen after the period of forgetting had passed?

Ésaïe 23:17 (NEG79)

17 Au bout de soixante-dix ans, l'Eternel visitera Tyr, Et elle retournera à son salaire impur; Elle se prostituera à tous les royaumes de la terre, Sur la face du monde.

In the same way as the prostitute in the song, Tyre would be forgotten, and trade would cease. After the 70 years, the Lord would visit Tyre, but this time to restore and not to punish. Tyre could only recover its former position if and when the Lord allowed it. Then, the city would return to the business of international trade.
