Isaiah 38:19-21
Isaiah 38:19-21 New Century Version (NCV)
The people who are alive are the ones who praise you. They praise you as I praise you today. A father should tell his children that you provide help. The LORD saved me, so we will play songs on stringed instruments in the Temple of the LORD all the days of our lives. Then Isaiah said, “Make a paste from figs and put it on Hezekiah’s boil. Then he will get well.”
Isaiah 38:16-22 The Message (MSG)
O Master, these are the conditions in which people live, and yes, in these very conditions my spirit is still alive— fully recovered with a fresh infusion of life! It seems it was good for me to go through all those troubles. Throughout them all you held tight to my lifeline. You never let me tumble over the edge into nothing. But my sins you let go of, threw them over your shoulder—good riddance! The dead don’t thank you, and choirs don’t sing praises from the morgue. Those buried six feet under don’t witness to your faithful ways. It’s the living—live men, live women—who thank you, just as I’m doing right now. Parents give their children full reports on your faithful ways. * * * GOD saves and will save me. As fiddles and mandolins strike up the tunes, We’ll sing, oh we’ll sing, sing, for the rest of our lives in the Sanctuary of GOD. Isaiah had said, “Prepare a poultice of figs and put it on the boil so he may recover.” Hezekiah had said, “What is my cue that it’s all right to enter again the Sanctuary of GOD?”
Isaiah 38:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.

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