We have come to an end.” 12So prophesy and say to them, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: Listen, my people! I will soon open up your graves. I will bring you out of your graves. I will bring you back to the land of Israel. When that happens to you, my people, you will know that I am the Lord. 14I will put the breath of my Spirit in you, and you will become alive.

That is what the Lordsays.” ’ 15The Lord gave this message to me:
