Isaiah 38:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ 
“O Lord, by these things men live,
And in all these is the life of my spirit;
Restore me to health and let me live!
¹⁷ 
“Indeed, it was for my own well-being that I had such bitterness;
But You have loved back my life from the pit of nothingness (destruction),
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
¹⁸ 
“For Sheol cannot praise or thank You,
Death cannot praise You and rejoice in You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
