This chapter has often been used to prove that the concept of a future resurrection was well known in Old Testament times. However, in its context, it really is a symbolic representation of Israel's rebirth as a nation. If one is looking for a proof text, Daniel 12:2 is a much clearer example:
"Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
