Moreover, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions. Then take another stick and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions.

say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.

I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name;

At that time, says Jehovah, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.

Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah has chosen, He has even cast them off? Thus they have despised My people, that they should no more be a nation before them.

then I will cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will bring back their captives, and have mercy on them.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a shaking; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold we have died, we have perished, we have all perished!

Whoever comes near the tabernacle of Jehovah dies. Are we all about to die? Have we been consumed?

Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be pleased no more?

Has the Mighty God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, as when one cuts and splits wood on the earth.

Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from Jehovah and my judgment is passed over by God?
