Isaiah 38:20 Context
18For the graue cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that goe downe into the pit cannot hope for thy trueth. 19The liuing, the liuing, hee shall praise thee, as I doe this day: the father to the children shall make knowen thy trueth. 20The Lord was ready to saue me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments, all the dayes of our life, in the house of the Lord. 21For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lumpe of figges, and lay it for a plaister vpon the boile, and he shall recouer. 22Hezekiah also had said, what is the signe, that I shall goe vp to the house of the Lord ?
