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.
8 I looked and saw muscles come on the bones. Flesh grew, and skin covered the bones. But there was no breath in them.
9 Then the Lord said to me, “Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, human being, and say to the wind: ‘This is what the Lord God says: Wind, come from the four winds. Breathe on these people who were killed so they can live again.’”
