New International Version

Isaiah 38:18-22 New International Version (NIV)

18. For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

19. The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.

20. The Lord will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the Lord.

21. Isaiah had said, “Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”

22. Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?”
