Commentary on Isaiah 38:18

Theological / Devotional

The grave. Death brings the complete cessation of all thought and activity (see on Ps. 115:17; 146:4; Eccl. 9:5). What particularly distressed Hezekiah was the thought that in death he could not give thanks or praise to God (Ps. 6:5 ; 30:9; 88:10, 11; 115:17).
