Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel.

Behold, they say, `Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost;'

Therefore prophesy, and say to them,

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves, and raise you, O my people;

I will bring you home into the land of Israel.

I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live,

and I will place you in your own land;

then you shall know that I, the Lord, have done this for my children.
