Therefore: Job 35:14, Job 35:15 I will open: This is a pointed allusion to the resurrection; under which figure Isaiah ( Isa 26:9) also describes the restoration of the house of Israel, when he says, "thy dead men shall live;" at which time their bones are said to flourish ( Isa 66:14), or to be restored to their former strength and vigour; and, in like manner, St. Paul ( Rom 11:15), expresses their conversion by "life from the dead." In the land of their captivity, they seemed as absolutely deprived of their country as persons committed to the grave are cut off from the land of the living; but when Cyrus issued his proclamation, Jehovah, as it were, opened their graves, and when he stirred up their spirits to embrace the proffered liberty, he put his Spirit within them, that they might live; and their re-establishment in their own land evinced the truth of God in the prediction, and his power in its accomplishment. Eze 37:21; Isa 26:19, Isa 66:14; Hos 6:2, Hos 13:14; Th1 4:16; Rev 20:13 and bring: Eze 37:25, Eze 28:25, Eze 36:24; Ezra 1:1-2:70; Amo 9:14, Amo 9:15 Ezekiel 37:13
