Ezekiel 37:7

Verse 7 of 28. The 37th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

3He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord GOD, you know.”

4Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear the LORD’s word.

5The Lord GOD says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.

6I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”

7So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.

8I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.

9Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”

10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11Then 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 completely cut off.’
