Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 37:10-11

"So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off." — Ezekiel 37:10-11 (ASV)

And the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

"There is no hope for us; we are dead, and worse than dead. Our case is hopeless; there is no possibility of restoration for us."
