Isaiah 38:15-17
International Children’s Bible
15 What can I say?
The Lord told me what would happen and then made it happen.
I have had these troubles in my soul.
So now I will be humble all my life.
16 Lord, because of you, men live.
Because of you, my spirit also lives.
You made me well and let me live.
17 It was for my own good
that I had such troubles.
Because you love me very much,
you did not let me die.
You threw my sins
far away.

He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.(B)

and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.(E)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(F)
that I suffered such anguish.(G)
In your love you kept me
from the pit(H) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(I)
behind your back.(J)
