Exegesis
The construct kol-mamlekhot ha’aretz {כָּל-מַמְלְכ֥וֹת הָאָרֶץ | kol mam-lē-kōṯ hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘all the kingdoms of the earth’ combines universal quantifier and construct chain, while al-penei ha’adamah {עַל-פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה | ʿal pnei hā-ʾa-dā-mā(h)} ‘on the face of the ground’ conveys global extent. English translation preserves the sequence of vav-consecutive clauses to maintain the Hebrew’s forward momentum and thematic emphasis on judgment and restoration.
In context — Isaiah 23:17
And it will come to pass at the end of seventy years, the LORD will attend to Tyre, and she will return to her hire and will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground .
