And the hand of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord brought me forth by the Spirit, and set me in the midst of the plain, and it was full of human bones.

And He said to me, Son of man, will these bones live? And I said, O Lord God, [only] You know this!

Thus says the Lord to these bones: Behold, I [will] bring upon you the breath of life;

So I prophesied as [the Lord] commanded me. And it came to pass while I was prophesying, that behold, [there was] a rattling, and the bones approached each one to his joint.

And He said to me, Prophesy to the wind; prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord: Come from the four winds, [O breath,] and breathe upon these dead, that they may live.

[so as] to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue is glued to My throat; and You have brought Me down to the dust of death.

What many and great afflictions have You shown me! Yet You turned and revived me, and brought me again from the depths of the earth.

And to Joseph he said, His land [is] of the blessing of the Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below,

And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with grain and wine; and the sky [shall be] misty with dew upon you.

With You is dominion in the day of Your power, in the splendors of Your saints; I have begotten You from the womb before the morning.

But I will show peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the land shall yield her produce, and the heaven shall give its dew: and I will give as an inheritance all these things to the remnant of My people.
