Isaiah 38:18

18 For Sheol cannot thank you, death cannot praise you; those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.

Isaiah 38:18 In-Context

16 O Lord, by these things people live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh, restore me to health and make me live!
17 Surely it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but you have held back my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 For Sheol cannot thank you, death cannot praise you; those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living, they thank you, as I do this day; fathers make known to children your faithfulness.
20 The Lord will save me, and we will sing to stringed instruments all the days of our lives, at the house of the Lord.
