Isaiah 38:18

18 For the grave cannot praise Thee, death can not celebrate Thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth.

Isaiah 38:18 In-Context

16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; so wilt Thou recover me and make me to live.
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but Thou hast in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption, for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back.
18 For the grave cannot praise Thee, death can not celebrate Thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I do this day; the father to the children shall make known Thy truth.
20 The LORD was ready to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
