Ezekiel 37:1-11

The Valley of Dry Bones

1 ^eThe hand of the Lord was upon me, and ^fhe 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, ^h“Son of man, ⁱcan these bones live?” And ^jI answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, ^k“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, ^lO dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause ^mbreath ^{▼▼Or spirit; also verses 6, 9, 10} to enter you, and you shall live. 6 ^oAnd I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and ^pcover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, ^qand you shall know that I am the Lord.”

7 So I prophesied ^ras I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ^sa 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 ^uthere was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, ^v“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, ^wson of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from ^xthe four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied ^yas he commanded me, and ^zthe breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 Then he said to me, ^aa“Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and ^abour hope is lost; ^acwe are indeed cut off.’
