Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) Take a harp, go about the city, you forgotten prostitute … so that you may be remembered
(Some words not found in UHB: take harp go_about (a)_city prostitute forgotten well make_~_melody many songs that remembered )
This speaks about the people of Tyre as if they were a prostitute (verse 15). Just as a prostitute who is no longer popular may sing in the streets to regain her former lovers, the people of Tyre will try to get people from other nations to return to them to continue trading so that the people of Tyre will be rich and powerful again.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) so that you may be remembered
(Some words not found in UHB: take harp go_about (a)_city prostitute forgotten well make_~_melody many songs that remembered )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “so that people remember you” or “so that people return to you”
23:1-18 Tyre was a prosperous seaport northwest of Israel. The relationship between Judah and Tyre went back to the time of David and Solomon (1 Kgs 5:8-9). Tyre, with its proximity to plentiful forests and to the Mediterranean Sea, was one of the commercial centers of the ancient Near East. Its fleets were renowned, and its colonies brought it great prestige and riches. The city came under repeated attack by the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Macedonians, and it fell to Alexander the Great in 332 BC. Isaiah not only prophesied the end of Tyre but by implication warned all whose wealth and earthly securities lead to pride instead of dependence on God (see Isa 2:12-16; Matt 11:21).
