37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. There was a sound when I prophesied – I heard 5 a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 37:8 As I watched, I saw 6 tendons on them, then muscles appeared, 7 and skin covered over them from above, but there was no breath 8 in them.
37:9 He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, 9 – prophesy, son of man – and say to the breath: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these corpses so that they may live.’” 37:10 So I prophesied as I was commanded, and the breath came into them; they lived and stood on their feet, an extremely great army.
37:11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope has perished; we are cut off.’ 37:12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am about to open your graves and will raise you from your graves, my people. I will bring you to the land of Israel. 37:13 Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and raise you from your graves, my people.
3:2 Lord, I have heard the report of what you did; 10
I am awed, 11 Lord, by what you accomplished. 12
In our time 13 repeat those deeds; 14
in our time reveal them again. 15
But when you cause turmoil, remember to show us mercy! 16
