1. Some time later, I felt the Lord's power take control of me, and his Spirit carried me to a valley full of bones.
2. The Lord showed me all around, and everywhere I looked I saw bones that were dried out.
3. He said, “Ezekiel, son of man, can these bones come back to life?”I replied, “Lord God, only you can answer that.”
4. He then told me to say:Dry bones, listen to what the Lord is saying to you,
5. “I, the Lord God, will put breath in you, and once again you will live.
6. I will wrap you with muscles and skin and breathe life into you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
24-25. Their king will always come from the family of my servant King David and will care for them like a shepherd. The people of Israel will faithfully obey my laws. They and their descendants will live in the land I gave my servant Jacob, just as their ancestors did.
