Can These Bones Live

King James Version


37 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,
2 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.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou
knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear
the word of the LORD.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and
ye shall live:
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
