3
He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”
4 Again He said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
4
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
5
This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord." ' "
6
I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ”
