Ezekiel:37:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD ,
and set me down in the midst of the valley ;
and it was full of bones .
*
Then He caused me to pass by them all around ,
and behold ,
there were very many in the open valley ;
and indeed they were very dry .
*
And He said to me , "
Son of man ,
can these bones live ?"
So I answered , "
O Lord GOD ,
You know ."
*
Again He said to me , "
Prophesy to these bones ,
and say to them , "
O dry bones ,
hear the word of the LORD !
*
Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones : "
Surely I will cause breath to enter into you ,
and you shall live .
*
I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you ,
cover you with skin and put breath in you ;
and you shall live .
Then you shall know that I am the LORD .""'
*
So I prophesied as I was commanded ;
and as I prophesied ,
there was a noise ,
and suddenly a rattling ;
and the bones came together ,
bone to bone .
*
Indeed ,
as I looked ,
the sinews and the flesh came upon them ,
and the skin covered them over ;
but there was no breath in them .
*
Also He said to me , "
Prophesy to the breath ,
prophesy ,
son of man ,
and say to the breath , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Come from the four winds ,
O breath ,
and breathe on these slain ,
that they may live .""'
*
So I prophesied as He commanded me ,
and breath came into them ,
and they lived ,
and stood upon their feet ,
an exceedingly great army .
*
Then He said to me , "
Son of man ,
these bones are the whole house of Israel .
They indeed say , "
Our bones are dry ,
our hope is lost ,
and we ourselves are cut off !'
*
Therefore prophesy and say to them , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Behold ,
O My people ,
I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves ,
and bring you into the land of Israel .
*
Then you shall know that I am the LORD ,
when I have opened your graves ,
O My people ,
and brought you up from your graves .
*
I will put My Spirit in you ,
and you shall live ,
and I will place you in your own land .
Then you shall know that I ,
the LORD ,
have spoken it and performed it ,"
says the LORD ."'
