Ezekiel 37 — Context

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.
