1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2. And caused me to pass by them around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very dry.
3. And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? and I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4. Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5. Thus saith the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
