祂对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨能复活吗？”我说：“主耶和华啊，只有你知道。”祂又对我说：“你对这些骸骨发预言说，‘枯骨啊，你们要听耶和华说的话！主耶和华说，我要使气息进入你们里面，你们就必复活过来。我必给你们加上筋，使你们长出肉，再包上皮，将气息放在你们里面，你们就复活了。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。’”于是，我便按耶和华的吩咐向枯骨发预言，我正说预言的时候，忽然有震动的声音，骨头便连在了一起。我又发现骨头上有了筋，长了肉，包上了皮，只是还没有气息。耶和华对我说：“人子啊，你要向风说预言，告诉风，主耶和华这样说，‘风啊，从四方吹来，吹在这些被杀的人身上，使他们复活。’”于是，我便按耶和华的吩咐说预言，气息就进入他们里面，他们便复活了，并且站立起来，成为一支大军。耶和华对我说：“人子啊，这些骸骨就是所有的以色列人，他们说，‘我们骨头枯干，希望幻灭，彻底完了。’你要说预言，告诉他们，‘主耶和华说，我的子民啊，我要打开你们的坟墓，领你们出来，我要领你们返回以色列。我的子民啊，当我这样做的时候，你们就知道我是耶和华。
