Isaiah 38:18DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 18 of 22

"For the grave cannot praise thee, death can celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth."
Isaiah 38:18

In context

16O Lord, by these live, and in all these the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

17Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

18For the grave cannot praise thee, death can celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

19The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

20The LORD to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
