Isaiah 38:18
World English Bible (WEB)
For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
In context
16 Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.
17 Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.
20 The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.
