Job 40:17-18
17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron.
Ezekiel 37:4-8
4Then he said to me, a“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, bO dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause cbreath ▼▼Or spirit; also verses 6, 9, 10
to enter you, and you shall live. 6 eAnd I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and fcover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, gand you shall know that I am the Lord.” 7So I prophesied has I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ia rattling, ▼
▼Or an earthquake (compare 3:12, 13)
and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But kthere was no breath in them. Ephesians 4:16
16 lfrom whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, mwhen each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
