1	The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones;	The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.	The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
2	And he caused me to pass by them round about: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very dry.	And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry.	He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
3	And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.	And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.”	He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”
4	Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.	Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.	Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5	Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.	Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.	This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
6	And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.	And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”	I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
7	So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold an earthquake, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.	So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.	So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8	And I beheld, and lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.	And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them.	I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9	Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.	Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”	Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’”
10	So I prophesied as he commanded me; and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.	So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.	So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11	Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.	Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.’	Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’
12	Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.	Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel.	Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13	And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.	And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.	Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
14	And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.	And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.”	I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’”
15	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,	The word of the LORD came to me:	The word of the LORD came to me:
16	And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:	“Son of man, take a stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and the people of Israel associated with him’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him.’	“Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’
17	and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thine hand.	And join them one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.	Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.
18	And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?	And when your people say to you, ‘Will you not tell us what you mean by these?’	“When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’
19	say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.	say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am about to take the stick of Joseph (that is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with him. And I will join with it the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, that they may be one in my hand.	say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’
20	And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.	When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes,	Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on
21	And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:	then say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land.	and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.
22	and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:	And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms.	I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.
23	neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.	They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.	They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
24	And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.	“My servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes.	“’My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.
25	And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.	They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children’s children shall dwell there forever, and David my servant shall be their prince forever.	They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.
26	Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them: it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.	I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore.	I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.
27	My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.	My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.	My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
28	And the nations shall know that I am the LORD that sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.	Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”	Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”
