Ezekiel 37:28 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones.
2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out.
3 Then he asked me, "Son of man, can these bones become living people again?" "O Sovereign LORD," I replied, "you alone know the answer to that."
4 Then he said to me, "Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, 'Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD!
5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!
6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"
7 So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons.
8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, "Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.'"
10 So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet-- a great army.
11 Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, 'We have become old, dry bones-- all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.'
12 Therefore, prophesy to them and say, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13 When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the LORD.
14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live again and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the LORD has spoken!'"
15 Again a message came to me from the LORD:
16 "Son of man, take a piece of wood and carve on it these words: 'This represents Judah and its allied tribes.' Then take another piece and carve these words on it: 'This represents Ephraim and the northern tribes of Israel.'
17 Now hold them together in your hand as if they were one piece of wood.
18 When your people ask you what your actions mean,
19 say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take Ephraim and the northern tribes and join them to Judah. I will make them one piece of wood in my hand.'
20 "Then hold out the pieces of wood you have inscribed, so the people can see them.
21 And give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered.
22 I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms.
23 They will never again pollute themselves with their idols and vile images and rebellion, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.
24 "My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and be careful to keep my decrees.
25 They will live in the land I gave my servant Jacob, the land where their ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. And my servant David will be their prince forever.
26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and increase their numbers, and I will put my Temple among them forever.
27 I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28 And when my Temple is among them forever, the nations will know that I am the LORD, who makes Israel holy."
1 The hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 upon H5921 me , and carried me out H3318 in the spirit H7307 of the LORD, H3068 and set me down H5117 in the midst H8432 of the valley H1237 which H1931 was full H4392 of bones, H6106
2 And caused me to pass H5674 by H5921 them round about H5439 H5439 : and, behold, H2009 there were very H3966 many H7227 in H5921 the open H6440 valley; H1237 and, lo, H2009 they were very H3966 dry. H3002
3 And he said H559 unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man, H120 can these H428 bones H6106 live H2421 ? And I answered, H559 O Lord H136 GOD, H3069 thou H859 knowest. H3045
4 Again he said H559 unto H413 me, Prophesy H5012 upon H5921 these H428 bones, H6106 and say H559 unto H413 them , O ye dry H3002 bones, H6106 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
5 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 unto these H428 bones; H6106 Behold, H2009 I H589 will cause breath H7307 to enter H935 into you , and ye shall live: H2421
6 And I will lay H5414 sinews H1517 upon H5921 you , and will bring up H5927 flesh H1320 upon H5921 you , and cover H7159 H5921 you with skin, H5785 and put H5414 breath H7307 in you , and ye shall live; H2421 and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD. H3068
7 So I prophesied H5012 as H834 I was commanded: H6680 and as I prophesied, H5012 there was H1961 a noise, H6963 and behold H2009 a shaking, H7494 and the bones H6106 came together, H7126 bone H6106 to H413 his bone. H6106
8 And when I beheld, H7200 lo, H2009 the sinews H1517 and the flesh H1320 came up H5927 upon H5921 them , and the skin H5785 covered H7159 H5921 them above: H4605 but there was no H369 breath H7307 in them.
9 Then said H559 he unto H413 me, Prophesy H5012 unto H413 the wind, H7307 prophesy, H5012 son H1121 of man, H120 and say H559 to H413 the wind, H7307 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Come H935 from the four H4480 H702 winds, H7307 O breath, H7307 and breathe H5301 upon these H428 slain, H2026 that they may live. H2421
10 So I prophesied H5012 as H834 he commanded H6680 me , and the breath H7307 came H935 into them , and they lived, H2421 and stood up H5975 upon H5921 their feet, H7272 an exceeding H3966 H3966 great H1419 army. H2428
11 Then he said H559 unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man, H120 these H428 bones H6106 are the whole H3605 house H1004 of Israel: H3478 behold, H2009 they say, H559 Our bones H6106 are dried, H3001 and our hope H8615 is lost: H6 we are cut off H1504 for our parts.
12 Therefore H3651 prophesy H5012 and say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 O my people, H5971 I H589 will open H6605 H853 your graves, H6913 and cause you to come up H5927 out of your graves H4480 H6913 , and bring H935 you into H413 the land H127 of Israel. H3478
13 And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD, H3068 when I have opened H6605 H853 your graves, H6913 O my people, H5971 and brought you up H5927 H853 out of your graves H4480 H6913 ,
14 And shall put H5414 my spirit H7307 in you , and ye shall live, H2421 and I shall place H5117 you in H5921 your own land: H127 then shall ye know H3045 that H3588 I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it , and performed H6213 it , saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
15 The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying, H559
16 Moreover, thou H859 son H1121 of man, H120 take H3947 thee one H259 stick, H6086 and write H3789 upon H5921 it , For Judah, H3063 and for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 his companions: H2270 then take H3947 another H259 stick, H6086 and write H3789 upon H5921 it , For Joseph, H3130 the stick H6086 of Ephraim, H669 and for all H3605 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 his companions: H2270
17 And join H7126 them one H259 to H413 another H259 into one H259 stick; H6086 and they shall become H1961 one H259 in thine hand. H3027
18 And when H834 the children H1121 of thy people H5971 shall speak H559 unto H413 thee, saying, H559 Wilt thou not H3808 show H5046 us what H4100 thou meanest by these H428 ?
19 Say H1696 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I H589 will take H3947 H853 the stick H6086 of Joseph, H3130 which H834 is in the hand H3027 of Ephraim, H669 and the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 his fellows, H2270 and will put H5414 them with H5921 him, even with H854 the stick H6086 of Judah, H3063 and make H6213 them one H259 stick, H6086 and they shall be H1961 one H259 in mine hand. H3027
20 And the sticks H6086 whereon H834 H5921 thou writest H3789 shall be H1961 in thine hand H3027 before their eyes. H5869
21 And say H1696 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I H589 will take H3947 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 from among H4480 H996 the heathen, H1471 whither H834 H8033 they be gone, H1980 and will gather H6908 them on every side H4480 H5439 , and bring H935 them into H413 their own land: H127
22 And I will make H6213 them one H259 nation H1471 in the land H776 upon the mountains H2022 of Israel; H3478 and one H259 king H4428 shall be H1961 king H4428 to them all: H3605 and they shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 two H8147 nations, H1471 neither H3808 shall they be divided H2673 into two H8147 kingdoms H4467 any more at all H5750 H5750 :
23 Neither H3808 shall they defile H2930 themselves any more H5750 with their idols, H1544 nor with their detestable things, H8251 nor with any H3605 of their transgressions: H6588 but I will save H3467 them out of all H4480 H3605 their dwelling places, H4186 wherein H834 they have sinned, H2398 and will cleanse H2891 them : so shall they be H1961 my people, H5971 and I H589 will be H1961 their God. H430
24 And David H1732 my servant H5650 shall be king H4428 over H5921 them ; and they all H3605 shall have H1961 one H259 shepherd: H7462 they shall also walk H1980 in my judgments, H4941 and observe H8104 my statutes, H2708 and do H6213 them.
25 And they shall dwell H3427 in H5921 the land H776 that H834 I have given H5414 unto Jacob H3290 my servant, H5650 wherein H834 your fathers H1 have dwelt; H3427 and they shall dwell H3427 therein, H5921 even they, H1992 and their children, H1121 and their children's H1121 children H1121 forever: H5769 and my servant H5650 David H1732 shall be their prince H5387 forever. H5769
26 Moreover I will make H3772 a covenant H1285 of peace H7965 with them ; it shall be H1961 an everlasting H5769 covenant H1285 with H854 them : and I will place H5414 them , and multiply H7235 them , and will set H5414 my sanctuary H4720 in the midst H8432 of them forevermore. H5769
27 My tabernacle H4908 also shall be H1961 with H5921 them: yea , I will be H1961 their God, H430 and they H1992 shall be H1961 my people. H5971
28 And the heathen H1471 shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 the LORD H3068 do sanctify H6942 H853 Israel, H3478 when my sanctuary H4720 shall be H1961 in the midst H8432 of them forevermore. H5769
