Ezekiel chapter 37 of 48 (28 verses)
Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
Ezekiel 37:2 And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
Ezekiel 37:3 And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
Ezekiel 37:4 And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
Ezekiel 37:5 This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
Ezekiel 37:6 And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 37:7 So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Ezekiel 37:8 And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
Ezekiel 37:9 And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
Ezekiel 37:10 And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
Ezekiel 37:12 For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 37:13 And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
Ezekiel 37:14 And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.
Ezekiel 37:15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 37:16 And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:
Ezekiel 37:17 Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.
Ezekiel 37:18 And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?
Ezekiel 37:19 Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
Ezekiel 37:20 And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes.
Ezekiel 37:21 And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
Ezekiel 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
Ezekiel 37:23 And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
Ezekiel 37:24 And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
Ezekiel 37:25 And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
Ezekiel 37:26 And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
Ezekiel 37:27 And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
Ezekiel 37:28 And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
