    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.’

    1The Valley of Dry Bones The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and placed me in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones.

    2He made me walk all around among them. I realized there were a great many bones in the valley and they were very dry.

    3He said to me,“Son of man, can these bones live?” I said to him,“Sovereign LORD, you know.”

    4Then he said to me,“Prophesy over these bones, and tell them:‘Dry bones, listen to the LORD’s message.

    5This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: Look, I am about to infuse breath into you and you will live.

    6I will put tendons on you and muscles over you and will cover you with skin; I will put breath in you and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

    7So I prophesied as I was commanded. There was a sound when I prophesied– I heard a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

    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.
