    8As I watched, I saw tendons on them, then muscles appeared, and skin covered over them from above, but there was no breath in them.

    9He said to me,“Prophesy to the breath,– prophesy, son of man– and say to the breath:‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these corpses so that they may live.’”

    10So I prophesied as I was commanded, and the breath came into them; they lived and stood on their feet, an extremely great army.

    11Then he said to me,“Son of man, these bones are all the house of Israel. Look, they are saying,‘Our bones are dry, our hope has perished; we are cut off.’

    12Therefore prophesy, and tell them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to open your graves and will raise you from your graves, my people. I will bring you to the land of Israel.

    13Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and raise you from your graves, my people.

    14I will place my breath in you and you will live; I will give you rest in your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD– I have spoken and I will act, declares the LORD.’”
