Ezekiel 37:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ The Lord said:

Ezekiel, now say to the wind,^[a] “The Lord God commands you to blow from every direction and to breathe life into these dead bodies, so they can live again.”

^10 (A) As soon as I said this, the wind blew among the bodies, and they came back to life! They all stood up, and there were enough to make a large army.

¹¹ The Lord said:

Ezekiel, the people of Israel are like dead bones. They complain that they are dried up and that they have no hope for the future.
