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.
I'm going to put my spirit inside you, and you'll come alive again. I'll bring you back to your own home, your own place. Then you'll finally get it, I'm the Lord, and when I say something's going to happen, it happens.
God doesn't just make promises, he keeps them and brings you back to life in the process.
