4. He said, “Prophesy to the bones. Tell these dry bones to listen to the word of the Lord.
5. Tell them that I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to them: I am going to put breath into you and bring you back to life.
6. I will give you sinews and muscles, and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you and bring you back to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
7. So I prophesied as I had been told. While I was speaking, I heard a rattling noise, and the bones began to join together.
8. While I watched, the bones were covered with sinews and muscles, and then with skin. But there was no breath in the bodies.
