Isaiah 38:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ What can I say?
    ·The Lord told me what would happen and then made it happen [^LHe spoke to me and he did it].
I will ·be humble [wander about; shuffle along; walk slowly] all my ·life [years]
    because of ·these troubles in [the bitterness of] my soul.
¹⁶ Lord, because of ·you [^Lthese things], people live.
    Because of ·you [^Lthem], my spirit also lives;
you ·made me well [restored me] and let me live.
¹⁷ It was for my own ·good [welfare; peace; ^CHebrew shalom]
    that I had such ·troubles [anguish; bitterness].
Because you love me very much,
    you ·did not let me die [delivered my soul from the pit of destruction/corruption]
but threw my sins
    ·far away [^Lbehind your back].
