And ^(F)I will bring you into the land of Israel. ¹³ And ^(G)you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. ¹⁴ And ^(H)I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; ^(I)I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord.”
