3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”And I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you so that you live.
6 And I will lay sinews upon you and will grow back flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you so that you live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise and a shaking. And the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 When I looked, the sinews and the flesh grew upon them, and the skin covered them. But there was no breath in them.
9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the wind; prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind: Thus says the Lord God: Come from thefour winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain so that they live.”
