13 and when that happens, you will realize that I am the Lord.
14 My Spirit will give you breath, and you will live again. I will bring you home, and you will know that I have kept my promise. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
15 The Lord said:
16 Ezekiel, son of man, get a stick and write on it, “The kingdom of Judah”. Then get another stick and write on it, “The kingdom of Israel”.
17 Hold these two sticks end to end, so they look like one stick.
18 And when your people ask you what this means,
19 tell them that I, the Lord, will join together the stick of Israel and the stick of Judah. I will hold them in my hand, and they will become one.
