Ezekiel 37:12-14

12 Therefore, prophesy and say to them: This is what the Lord God says: I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them, My people, and lead you into the land of Israel.
13 You will know that I am the Lord, My people, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
14 I will put My Spirit in you,[a] and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I am the Lord. I have spoken, and I will do [it]." [This is] the declaration of the Lord.
