He asked me "Son of man can these bones live? I said, Sovereign Lord, you alone know." Then he said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, dry bones, hear the word of the lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon 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.
