The Vision of the Dry Bones

37 The Lord’s power came on me. The Spirit[a] of the Lord carried me out of the city and put me down in the middle of the valley.[b] The valley was full of dead men’s bones. There were many bones lying on the ground in the valley. The Lord made me walk all around among the bones. I saw the bones were very dry.

Then the Lord said to me, “Son of man,[c] can these bones come to life?”

I answered, “Lord God, only you know the answer to that question.”
