Matthew Poole and continuators on 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.

The Hieroglyphick, or Emblem of the house of Israel.

Think, discourse, and conclude.

Their State as hopeless, as far from recovery, as dried bones scattered abroad first, and undistinguisht heap'd up at last, are from life.

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.
