37:3
Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
37:4
And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
37:5
This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.
37:6
I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
37:7
So I prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
37:8
As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
37:9
Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
37:10
So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
37:11
Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’
37:12
Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
37:13
Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
37:14
I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”
