Nehemiah 4:10
10In Judah it was said, ▼▼Hebrew Judah said
“The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.” Ezekiel 37:3-13
3And he said to me, b“Son of man, ccan these bones live?” And dI answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4Then he said to me, e“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, fO dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause gbreath ▼▼Or spirit; also verses 6, 9, 10
to enter you, and you shall live. 6 iAnd I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and jcover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, kand you shall know that I am the Lord.” 7So I prophesied las I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ma 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 othere was no breath in them. 9Then he said to me, p“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, qson of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from rthe four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10So I prophesied sas he commanded me, and tthe breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11Then he said to me, u“Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and vour hope is lost; wwe are indeed cut off.’ 12Therefore xprophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, yI will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And zI will bring you into the land of Israel. 13And aayou shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.
