Isaiah 38:16-18
English Standard Version Anglicised
16 (A)O Lord, by these things men live,
and in all these is the life of my spirit.
Oh restore me to health and make me live!
17 (B)Behold, it was for my welfare
that I had great bitterness;
(C)but in love you have delivered my life
from the pit of destruction,
(D)for you have cast all my sins
behind your back.
18 (E)For Sheol does not thank you;
death does not praise you;
those who go down to the pit do not hope
for your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:16-18
New International Version
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.
