Isaiah 23
At the end of seventy years, Yahweh will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for Yahweh; they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before Yahweh, for abundant food and fine clothes.
Isaiah 23:17-18
The world continues her prostitution but Yahweh still owns everything. He does not impose holiness on those who reject Him but He most certainly will do as He wills because all things are His.
Tyre would return to her prostitution but He would no longer allow her to enrich herself as before.
The wealth of the wicked city was in 70 years going to be laid up for the righteous
Qodesh being translated means holy, and that meaning includes set apart.
So her merchandise and her gain will be set apart [qodesh] for Yahweh.
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Proverbs 13:21-23, 25
