⁵ This is what the Lord God says to these bones: ‘Behold, I am going to make ^[a](A)breath enter you so that you may come to life.

⁹ Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘The Lord God says this: “Come from the four winds, breath, and ^(A)breathe on these slain, so that they ^(B)come to life.”’” ¹⁰ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the ^(C)breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an ^(D)exceedingly great army.

¹⁴ And I will ^(A)put My ^[a]Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken and done it,” declares the Lord.’”
