King James Version
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He
brought
me out by
His
Spirit and set me down in the middle
of the valley ,
and
it
was full of bones .
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried
me out in
the
spirit of
the
LORD,
and set me down in the midst
of the valley which
was full of bones ,
He
led
me all
around
among
them ,
and I
saw
a
great
many bones
on
the
floor
of
the valley ,
and indeed
, they were very dry.
And
caused
me to
pass
by
them round
about:
and ,
behold,
there
were
very
many in
the open
valley ;
and, lo,
they were very dry.
Then
He asked
me, “
Son of man, can these bones come
to
life
? ”
“
O Lord GOD, ”
I
replied,
“only
You
know
. ”
And
he said
unto
me, Son of man, can these bones live
? And
I
answered,
O Lord GOD, thou
knowest
.
And
He said to
me, “
Prophesy concerning
these bones and tell
them, ‘
Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD !
Again
he said unto
me, Prophesy upon
these bones ,
and say
unto
them, O
ye
dry bones, hear the word of the LORD .
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says
to
these bones :
I will cause breath to enter you, and you
will
come
to
life.
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD unto
these bones ;
Behold,
I will cause breath to enter into
you, and ye
shall
live:
I will attach
tendons
to
you and make
flesh grow
upon you and cover you with skin .
I
will
put breath within
you
so
that
you
will
come
to
life.
Then
you will
know that I am the LORD. ’”
And
I will lay
sinews
upon
you ,
and will
bring
up
flesh upon you ,
and cover you with skin ,
and
put breath in
you ,
and
ye
shall
live;
and
ye
shall
know that I am the LORD.
So I prophesied as I had
been
commanded .
And as I prophesied, there was suddenly
a noise, a rattling
, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
So I prophesied as I was
commanded :
and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and
behold
a shaking
, and the bones came together, bone to his
bone.
As
I looked
on
, tendons
appeared
on
them
, flesh grew
, and skin covered them ;
but there was no breath in them.
And
when
I beheld
, lo
, the
sinews
and
the
flesh came
up
upon
them
, and the
skin covered them above:
but there was no breath in them.
Then He
said to
me, “
Prophesy to
the breath;
prophesy, son of man, and tell
the breath
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into
these slain, so
that they may live !”
Then said he
unto
me, Prophesy unto
the wind,
prophesy, son of man, and say
to
the wind,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon
these slain, that they may live .
So I prophesied as He had
commanded me, and the breath entered
them, and they came
to
life
and stood on
their feet —a
vast
army.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came
into
them, and they lived,
and stood up
upon
their feet ,
an
exceeding
great
army.
Then He said to
me, “
Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel .
Look
, they are
saying
, ‘
Our bones are dried up
, and our hope has
perished;
we are cut off. ’
Then he said unto
me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel :
behold
, they say
, Our bones are dried, and our hope is
lost:
we are cut off for
our
parts
.
Therefore prophesy and tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
O My people, I will open your graves and bring
you up from
them
, and I
will
bring you back
to
the land of Israel.
Therefore prophesy and say
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold,
O my people, I will open your graves ,
and cause
you to
come
up out
of
your
graves
, and bring you into
the land of Israel.
Then
you,
My
people,
will
know that I am the LORD, when I open
your graves and bring
you up from
them.
And
ye
shall
know that I am the LORD, when I have
opened
your graves ,
O
my
people,
and brought
you up out
of
your
graves,
I
will
put My Spirit in you and you
will
live, and I will
settle
you in your own land .
Then you
will
know that I ,
the LORD ,
have spoken, and I
will
do
it, declares
the LORD. ’”
And
shall
put my spirit in you ,
and ye
shall
live, and I shall
place
you in your own land :
then shall
ye
know that I the LORD have spoken it
, and performed
it, saith
the LORD.
Again
the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
The word of the LORD came again
unto
me, saying,
“And
you
, son of man, take a
single
stick and write on
it :
‘Belonging
to
Judah and to
the Israelites
associated
with
him.’
Then take another stick and write on
it :
‘Belonging
to
Joseph —
the stick of Ephraim —
and to
all the house of Israel associated
with
him.’
Moreover
, thou
son of man, take thee
one
stick ,
and write upon
it ,
For
Judah ,
and for
the children
of
Israel
his
companions:
then take another stick ,
and write upon
it ,
For
Joseph ,
the stick of Ephraim and for
all the house of Israel his
companions:
Then
join them together
into one stick ,
so
that
they become one in your
hand.
And
join them one
to
another
into one stick ;
and
they shall
become one in thine
hand.
When your
people ask
you
, ‘Won’t
you
explain
to
us what you
mean
by these? ’
And
when the
children
of
thy
people shall
speak
unto
thee
, saying,
Wilt
thou
not
shew
us what thou
meanest
by these?
you
are
to
tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated
with
him
, and I
will put them together
with the stick of Judah .
I
will
make them into
a
single
stick, and they will
become
one in My
hand. ’
Say
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold,
I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his
fellows
, and will put them with him,
even
with
the stick of Judah ,
and
make them one
stick, and they shall
be
one in mine
hand.
When
the sticks on
which
you
write
are
in your
hand and
in
full
view
of
the
people,
And
the sticks whereon
thou
writest
shall
be
in thine
hand before
their
eyes.
you
are
to
tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
I will take the Israelites
out
of the nations
to
which
they have
gone, and I
will gather them from
all
around
and bring them into their own land .
And
say
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold,
I will take the children
of Israel
from
among
the heathen,
whither
they be
gone, and will gather them on
every
side,
and bring them into their own land :
I will make them one nation in the land ,
on
the mountains of Israel ,
and one king will
rule
over
all
of
them .
Then
they will
no
longer
be two nations and
will
never
again
be divided into two kingdoms.
And
I will make them one nation in the land upon
the mountains of Israel ;
and one king shall
be
king
to
them all:
and
they shall
be no
more
two nations ,
neither
shall
they
be divided into two kingdoms any
more
at
all
.
They will
no
longer
defile themselves with their idols or
detestable images
, or
with any of their transgressions .
I will save them from
all their apostasies
by
which
they sinned, and I
will cleanse them .
Then
they will
be My people, and I will be their God.
Neither
shall
they defile themselves any
more
with their idols ,
nor
with
their
detestable things
, nor
with any of their transgressions :
but
I will save them out
of
all their dwellingplaces,
wherein
they have
sinned, and will cleanse them :
so
shall
they be my people, and I will be their God.
My servant David
will
be king over them ,
and there
will
be
one shepherd for
all
of
them.
They will
follow
My ordinances
and
keep
and observe My statutes.
And
David
my servant shall
be king over them ;
and they
all
shall
have
one shepherd :
they shall
also
walk
in
my judgments,
and observe my statutes ,
and
do
them
.
They will
live
in the land that I gave
to
My servant Jacob
, where
your fathers lived.
They will
live
there
forever
with
their children and
grandchildren
, and My servant David will
be their prince forever
.
And
they shall
dwell
in the land that I have
given
unto
Jacob
my servant, wherein
your fathers have
dwelt;
and
they shall
dwell
therein,
even
they,
and
their children, and their
children's
children
for
ever:
and
my servant David shall
be their prince for
ever
.
And
I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will
be an everlasting covenant .
I will establish
them and multiply them, and I
will set My sanctuary among
them forever
.
Moreover
I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall
be an everlasting covenant with
them:
and
I will place
them ,
and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in
the
midst
of
them for
evermore
.
My dwelling
place
will
be with them ;
I will be their God, and they will
be My people.
My tabernacle
also
shall
be with them :
yea,
I will be their God, and they shall
be my people.
Then
the nations
will
know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is
among
them forever
. ’”
And
the heathen
shall
know that I the LORD do
sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall
be
in
the
midst
of
them for
evermore
.
