Isaiah 38:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Behold, for [a]felicity I had bitter grief, but it was thy pleasure to deliver my soul from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my [b]sins behind thy back.
18 For [c]the grave cannot confess thee: death cannot praise thee: they that go down into the pit, cannot hope for thy truth.
19 But the living, the living, he shall confess thee, as I do this day: the father to the [d]children shall declare thy truth.
