Ezekiel 37 | Ossa Viventia

The hand of the LORD was upon me

And he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD

And set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones

And he led me around among them

And behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley

And behold, they were very dry

And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"

And I answered, "O Lord GOD, you know"

Then he said to me

Prophesy over these bones

And say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD

Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones

Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live

And I will lay sinews upon you

And will cause flesh to come upon you

And cover you with skin

And put breath in you, and you shall live

And you shall know that I am the LORD

So I prophesied as I was commanded

And as I prophesied, there was a sound

And behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone

And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them

And flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them

But there was no breath in them

Then 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

Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones

Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live

And I will lay sinews upon you

And will cause flesh to come upon you

And cover you with skin

And put breath in you, and you shall live

And you shall know that I am the LORD

So I prophesied as he commanded me

And the breath came into them

And they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army

Then he said to me

Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel

Behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost

We are indeed cut off
