“For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.”
Hezekiah reflects that the grave cannot praise the LORD, and that death cannot celebrate God, establishing the impossibility of worship in death. The reflection suggests the importance of earthly life for the celebration of God's name. The oracle establishes the connection between life and the ability to praise God.
