Ezekiel 37:1-14

The Valley of Dry Bones

1 ⁱThe hand of the Lord was upon me, and ^jhe brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; ^{▼▼Or plain; also verse 2} it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, ^l“Son of man, ^mcan these bones live?” And ⁿI answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, ^o“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, ^pO dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause ^qbreath ^{▼▼Or spirit; also verses 6, 9, 10} to enter you, and you shall live. 6 ^sAnd I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and ^tcover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, ^uand you shall know that I am the Lord.”

7 So I prophesied ^vas I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ^wa rattling, ^{▼▼Or an earthquake (compare 3:12, 13)} and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But ^ythere was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, ^z“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, ^aason of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from ^abthe four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied ^acas he commanded me, and ^adthe breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 Then he said to me, ^ae“Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and ^afour hope is lost; ^agwe are indeed cut off.’ 12 Therefore ^ahprophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, ^aiI will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And ^ajI will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ^akyou shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. 14 And ^alI will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; ^amI have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord.”

Hosea 14:4-8

4 I ^anwill heal their apostasy;
^aoI will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
5 ^apI will be like the dew to Israel;
^aqhe shall blossom like the lily;
he shall take root like the trees ^arof Lebanon;
6 his shoots shall spread out;
his beauty shall be ^aslike the olive,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 They shall return and ^atdwell beneath my ^{▼▼Hebrew his} shadow;
they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 O ^avEphraim, what have I to do with idols?
It is I who answer and look after you. ^{▼▼Hebrew him}
I am like an evergreen cypress;
^axfrom me comes your fruit.
