Ezekiel 37:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The whole house; the hieroglyphic or emblem of the house of Israel. They say; think, discourse, and conclude. Our bones are dried; their state as hopeless, as far from recovery, as dried bones scattered abroad, and, undistinguished, heaped up, are from life. Our hope is lost; the hope, not that false prophets gave us, but that the true prophets proposed to us, is utterly lost, and we are out of all expectation of a recovery.

Ezekiel 37:11

11 Then he said unto 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.
