    1 The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;

    2 And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.

    3 And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.

    4 And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.

    5 This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;

    6 And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

    7 So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

    8 And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.

    9 And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.

    11 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
