1. The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones;
2. And he 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 over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
