²⁸ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ^(A)hear His voice ^29 (B)and come forth—^(C)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

⁴⁶ And ^(A)these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

¹² Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, ^(A)O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and ^(B)bring you into the land of Israel.
