    1The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.

    2He led me all around them, and behold, there were very many bones lying on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry.

    3He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' I answered, 'Sovereign Lord, You alone know.'

    4Then He said to me, 'Prophesy over these bones and say to them, “Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!”'

    5This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: 'Behold, I am going to bring breath into you, and you will come to life.'

    6'I will attach tendons to you, make flesh grow on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you so that you come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'

    7So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

    8I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

    9Then He said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it: “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live.”'

    10So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

    11Then He said to me, 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, “Our bones are dried up, our hope is gone, and we are cut off.”'
