Isaiah 38:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Lord God, your promises give life to people.
May they give life to my spirit.
Please make me well again and let me live.
17 Yes, it was good for me to have this trouble.
You rescued me from the deep hole of death.
You removed my sins,
and you put them behind your back.
18 Dead people in their graves cannot praise you.
They cannot sing to thank you.
People who go down into the deep hole of death
cannot trust you to help them.

16 Lord, by such things people live;
and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.(A)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(B)
that I suffered such anguish.(C)
In your love you kept me
from the pit(D) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(E)
behind your back.(F)
18 For the grave(G) cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;(H)
those who go down to the pit(I)
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
