1 I felt the power of the Lord was on me. He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord. And he put me down in the middle of a valley. It was full of bones.
2 The Lord led me around among the bones. There were many bones on the bottom of the valley. I saw the bones were very dry.
3 Then he asked me, “Human being, can these bones live?”I answered, “Lord God, only you know.”
4 The Lord said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 This is what the Lord God says to the bones: I will cause breath to enter you. Then you will live.
6 I will put muscles on you. I will put flesh on you. I will cover you with skin. Then I will put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. While I prophesied, there was a noise and a rattling. The bones came together, bone to bone.
