16 O sovereign master, your decrees can give men life; may years of life be restored to me. Restore my health and preserve my life.' 17 Look, the grief I experienced was for my benefit. You delivered me from the pit of oblivion. For you removed all my sins from your sight. 18 Indeed Sheol does not give you thanks; death does not praise you. Those who descend into the pit do not anticipate your faithfulness. 19 The living person, the living person, he gives you thanks, as I do today. A father tells his sons about your faithfulness. 20 The LORD is about to deliver me, and we will celebrate with music for the rest of our lives in the LORD's temple.| 21 Isaiah ordered, |Let them take a fig cake and apply it to the ulcerated sore and he will get well.| 22 Hezekiah said, |What is the confirming sign that I will go up to the LORD's temple?| Isaiah 38:16-22, New English Translation.
