Isaiah 38:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 For [a]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 [b]children shall declare thy truth.
20 The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my song, all the days of [c]our life in the house of the Lord.

- Isaiah 38:18 Forasmuch as God hath placed man in this world to glorify him, the godly take it as a sign of his wrath, when their days were shortened, either because that they seemed unworthy for their sins to live longer in his service, or for their zeal to God’s glory, seeing that there are so few in earth that do regard it, as Ps. 6:5; 115:17.
- Isaiah 38:19 All posterity shall acknowledge, and the fathers according to their duty toward their children shall instruct them in thy graces, and mercies toward me.
- Isaiah 38:20 He showeth what is the use of the Congregation and Church, to wit, to give the Lord thanks for his benefits.
