Isaiah 38:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ The dead cannot praise you.
    People in Sheol cannot sing praises to you.
Those who have died and gone below
    are not trusting in your faithfulness.
¹⁹ People who are alive, people like me,
    are the ones who will praise you.
    Fathers should tell their children about how faithful you are.
²⁰ So I say, “The Lord saved me.
    So we will sing and play songs in the Lord’s Temple all our lives.”
