Ezekiel 37:1-14
Dry Bones Live Again

Some time later, I felt the Lord's power take control of me, and his
Spirit carried me to a valley full of bones. The Lord showed me all
around, and everywhere I looked I saw bones that were dried out. He
said, "Ezekiel, son of man, can these bones come back to life?" I
replied, "Lord God, only you can answer that." He then told me to say:
Dry bones, listen to what the Lord is saying to you, "I, the Lord
God, will put breath in you, and once again you will live. I will
wrap you with muscles and skin and breathe life into you. Then you
will know that I am the Lord." I did what the Lord said, but before I
finished speaking, I heard a rattling noise. The bones were coming
together! I saw muscles and skin cover the bones, but they had no
life in them. The Lord said: Ezekiel, now say to the wind, "The Lord
God commands you to blow from every direction and to breathe life into
these dead bodies, so they can live again." As soon as I said this,
the wind blew among the bodies, and they came back to life! They all
stood up, and there were enough to make a large army. The Lord said:
Ezekiel, the people of Israel are like dead bones. They complain that
they are dried up and that they have no hope for the future. So tell
them, "I, the Lord God, promise to open your graves and set you free.
I will bring you back to Israel, and when that happens, you will
realize that I am the Lord. My Spirit will give you breath, and you
will live again. I will bring you home, and you will know that I have
kept my promise. I, the Lord, have spoken."

God bless you.
