     * Therefore.
     # Job 35:14,15|
     * I will open.
       This is a pointed allusion to the resurrection; under which
       figure Isaiah (ch. 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, (ch. 66:14,) or
       to be restored to their former strength and vigour; and, in
       like manner, St. Paul, (Ro 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.
