Isaiah 38:17-22
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 38

17Behold, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; But You have kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have hurled all my sins behind Your back. 18For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness. 19It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today; A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness. 20The Lord is certain to save me; So we will play my songs on stringed instruments All the days of our life at the house of the Lord.'
21Now Isaiah had said, 'Have them take a cake of figs and apply it to the boil, so that he may recover.' 22Then Hezekiah had said, 'What is the sign that I will go up to the house of the Lord?'
King James Version

Chapter 38

17Behold, 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.
18For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20The Lord was ready 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.
21For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover. 22Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 38

17Indeed, it was for my own well-being that I had such intense bitterness; but your love has delivered me from the Pit of destruction, for you have thrown all my sins behind your back. 18For Sheol cannot thank you; Death cannot praise you. Those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. 19The living, only the living can thank you, as I do today; a father will make your faithfulness known to children. 20The Lord is ready to save me; we will play stringed instruments all the days of our lives at the house of the Lord.
21Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a lump of pressed figs and apply it to his infected skin, so that he may recover." 22And Hezekiah had asked, "What is the sign that I will go up to the Lord’s temple?"
New Living Translation

Chapter 38

17Yes, this anguish was good for me, for you have rescued me from death and forgiven all my sins. 18For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to the grave can no longer hope in your faithfulness. 19Only the living can praise you as I do today. Each generation tells of your faithfulness to the next. 20Think of it — the Lord is ready to heal me! I will sing his praises with instruments every day of my life in the Temple of the Lord.
21Isaiah had said to Hezekiah’s servants, 'Make an ointment from figs and spread it over the boil, and Hezekiah will recover.'
22And Hezekiah had asked, 'What sign will prove that I will go to the Temple of the Lord?'
English Standard Version

Chapter 38

17 Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back. 18 For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down to the pit do not hope for your faithfulness. 19The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness. 20The Lord will save me, and we will play my music on stringed instruments all the days of our lives, at the house of the Lord. 21Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs and apply it to the boil, that he may recover." 22Hezekiah also had said, "What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?"
New International Version

Chapter 38

17Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back. 18For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness. 20The Lord will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the Lord.
21Isaiah had said, "Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover."
22Hezekiah had asked, "What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?"
New King James Version

Chapter 38

17Indeed 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. 18For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. 19The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day; The father shall make known Your truth to the children. 20“The Lord was ready to save me; Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
21Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a lump of figs, and apply it as a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”
22And Hezekiah had said, “What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?”
