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 the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones have become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent.
