*
Then he said unto me ,
Son of man ,
these bones are the whole house of Israel :
behold ,
they say ,
Our bones are dried ,
and our hope is lost :
we are cut off for our parts .
*
Therefore prophesy and say unto them ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
O my people ,
I will open your graves ,
and cause you to come up out of your graves ,
and bring you into the land of Israel .
*
And ye shall know that I am the LORD ,
when I have opened your graves ,
O my people ,
and brought you up out of your graves ,
*
And shall put my spirit in you ,
and ye shall live ,
and I shall place you in your own land :
then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it ,
and performed it ,
saith the LORD .
*
The word of the LORD came again unto me ,
saying ,
*
Moreover ,
thou son of man ,
take thee one stick ,
and write upon it ,
For Judah ,
and for the children of Israel his companions :
then take another stick ,
and write upon it ,
For Joseph ,
the stick of Ephraim ,
and for all the house of Israel his companions :
*
And join them one to another into one stick ;
and they shall become one in thine hand .
*
And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee ,
saying ,
Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these ?
*
Say unto them ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
I will take the stick of Joseph ,
which is in the hand of Ephraim ,
and the tribes of Israel his fellows ,
and will put them with him ,
even with the stick of Judah ,
and make them one stick ,
and they shall be one in mine hand .
*
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes .
*
And say unto them ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen ,
whither they be gone ,
and will gather them on every side ,
and bring them into their own land :
*
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel ;
and one king shall be king to them all :
and they shall be no more two nations ,
neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all :
*
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols ,
nor with their detestable things ,
nor with any of their transgressions :
but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces ,
wherein they have sinned ,
and will cleanse them :
so shall they be my people ,
and I will be their God .
*
And David my servant shall be king over them ;
and they all shall have one shepherd :
they shall also walk in my judgments ,
and observe my statutes ,
and do them .
*
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant ,
wherein your fathers have dwelt ;
and they shall dwell therein ,
even they ,
and their children ,
and their children '
s children for ever :
and my servant David shall be their prince for ever .
*
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them ;
it shall be an everlasting covenant with them :
and I will place them ,
and multiply them ,
and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore .
*
My tabernacle also shall be with them :
yea ,
I will be their God ,
and they shall be my people .
*
And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel ,
when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore .
