Isaiah 38:16-19
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.
19 The living, the living—they praise(J) you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children(K)
about your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:16-19
King James Version
16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

Isaiah 38:16-19
New King James Version
16 O Lord, by these things men live;
And in all these things is the life of my spirit;
So You will restore me and make me live.
17 Indeed it was for my own peace
That I had great bitterness;
But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption,
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
18 For (A)Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
19 The living, the living man, he shall praise You,
As I do this day;
(B)The father shall make known Your truth to the children.
