The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 38:17-22

  1. Behold, 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.

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

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

  4. The 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.

  5. For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

  6. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
