The LORD brought me out by his Spirit and put me down in the middle of a valley. The valley was filled with bones. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>He led me all around them. I saw that there were very many bones at the bottom of the valley, and they were very dry. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then he asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I answered, "Only you know, Almighty LORD." <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones. Tell them, 'Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>This is what the Almighty LORD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>I will put ligaments on you, place muscles on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>So I prophesied as I was commanded. While I was prophesying, suddenly there was a rattling noise, and the bones came together, one bone [attaching itself] to another. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>As I looked, I saw that ligaments were on them, muscles were on them, and skin covered them. Yet, there was no breath in them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then the LORD said to me, "Prophesy to the breath! Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, 'This is what the Almighty LORD says: Come from the four winds, Breath, and breathe on these people who were killed so that they will live.' " <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath entered them. Then they came to life and stood on their feet. There were enough of them to form a very large army.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>The LORD also said to me, "Son of man, all the people of Israel are like these bones. The people say, 'Our bones are dry, and our hope has vanished. We are completely destroyed.' <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>So prophesy. Tell them, 'This is what the Almighty LORD says: My people, I will open your graves and take you out of them. I will bring you to Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then, my people, you will know that I am the LORD, because I will open your graves and bring you out of your graves. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live.

He said, <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>"Son of man, take a stick and write on it: 'For Judah and for the Israelites who are associated with it.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'The stick of Ephraim, for Joseph and for all the people of Israel associated with it.' <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then join both sticks together so that they will be one in your hand.

They will be one in my hand.' <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>When you hold the sticks in your hand, let the people see them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>"Then tell them, 'This is what the Almighty LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they've gone. I will gather them from everywhere and bring them to their own land. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>I will form them into one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule all of them. They will no longer be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>They will no longer dishonor themselves with their idols, with their detestable things, or with their rebellious acts. I will forgive them for all the times they turned away from me and sinned.

They, their children, and their grandchildren will live in it permanently. My servant David will always be their prince. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>I will promise them peace. This promise will last forever.

I will be their God, and they will be my people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/37-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Then the nations will know that I, the LORD, have set Israel apart as holy, because my holy place will be among them permanently.'"</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
