Isaiah 38:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ ‘Behold, for peace I had bitter grief. But it was Your pleasure to deliver my soul from the pit of corruption. For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

¹⁸ ‘For the grave cannot confess You. Death cannot praise You. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for Your truth.

¹⁹ ‘But the living, the living, he shall confess You, as I do this day. The father shall declare Your truth to the children.
