16 Lord, people live in spite of such things, and I have the will to live in spite of them. You give me health and keep me alive. 17 Now my bitter experience turns into peace. You have saved me and kept me from the rotting pit. You have thrown all my sins behind you. 18 Sheol doesn't thank you! Death doesn't praise you! Those who go down to the pit cannot expect you to be faithful. 19 Those who are living praise you as I do today. Fathers make your faithfulness known to their children. 20 The LORD is going to rescue me, so let us play stringed instruments. We live our lives in the LORD's temple. 21 Then Isaiah said, |Take a fig cake, and place it over the boil so that the king will get well.| 22 Hezekiah asked, |What is the sign that I'll go to the LORD's temple?| Isaiah 38:16-22, God's Word Translation.
