1. The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and placed me in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones.
2. He made me walk all around among them. I realized there were a great many bones in the valley and they were very dry.
3. He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said to him, “Sovereign Lord, you know.”
4. Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them: ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5. This is what the sovereign Lord says to these bones: Look, I am about to infuse breath into you and you will live.
