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.
So here's what you need to tell them, this is straight from the Lord God: Listen up, my people, I'm about to open up your graves and bring you back to life, then take you home to Israel.
God's promise: even when everything feels dead and buried, he can bring it all back to life.
