“The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness.”
Isaiah 38:19 (BSB)
Context Reading
17Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back. 18For Sheol cannot thank You; Death cannot praise You. Those who descend to the Pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. 19The living, only the living, can thank You, as I do today; fathers will tell their children about Your faithfulness. 20The LORD will save me; we will play songs on stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the LORD. 21Now Isaiah had said, “Prepare a lump of pressed figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”
