Isaiah 38:18

כִּ֣י לֹ֥א שְׁא֛וֹל תּוֹדֶ֖ךָּ מָ֣וֶת יְהַלְלֶ֑ךָּ לֹֽא־יְשַׂבְּר֥וּ יֽוֹרְדֵי־ב֖וֹר אֶל־אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
kiy loʾ shʾvol tvodeka mavet yhalleka loʾ-yshabrv yvordey-bvor ʾel-ʾamiteka
King James Version (KJV)

For the grave cannot praise thee, death can {not} celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Modern English

For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
