	SEP Brenton Septuagint Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And the hand of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord brought me forth by the Spirit, and set me in the midst of the plain, and it was full of human 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 led me round about them every way: and, behold, there were very many on the face of the plain, 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 to me, Son of man, will these bones live? and I said, O Lord God, thou knowest this.	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	And he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and thou shalt say to them, 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 to these bones; Behold, I will bring upon you the breath of life:	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 will spread skin upon you, and will put my Spirit into 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 the Lord commanded me: and it came to pass while I was prophesying, that, behold, there was a shaking, and the bones approached each one to his joint.	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 looked, and behold, sinews and flesh grew upon them, and skin came upon them above: but there was not 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	And he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord; Come from the four winds, and breathe upon these dead men , and let them 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 entered into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great congregation.	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	And the Lord spoke to me, saying, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: and they say, Our bones are become dry, our hope has perished, we are quite spent.	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, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will open your tombs, and will bring you up out of your tombs, and 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, that I may bring up my people from their graves.	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 within you, and ye shall live, and I will place you upon your own land: and ye shall know that I am the Lord; I have spoken, and will do 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	And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,	The word of the LORD came to me:	The word of the LORD came to me:
16	Son of man, take for thyself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and thou shalt take for thyself another rod, and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.	“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 thou shalt joint them together for thyself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be 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 it shall come to pass, when the children of thy people shall say to thee, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these things?	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	Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the Lord; behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that belong to him, and I will add them to the tribe of Juda, and they shall become one rod in the hand of Juda.	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 rods on which thou didst write shall be in thine hand in their presence.	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 thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the whole house of Israel out of the midst of the nations, among whom they have gone, and I will gather them from all that are round about them, and I will bring them into the land of Israel.	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 a nation in my land, even on the mountains of Israel; and they shall have one prince: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided any more at all into two kingdoms:	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	that they may no more defile themselves with their idols; and I will deliver them from all their transgressions whereby they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be to me a people, and I the Lord will be to them a 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 a prince in the midst of them: there shall be one shepherd of them all; for they shall walk in mine ordinances, and keep my judgments, 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 their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell upon it: and David my servant shall be their prince forever.	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	And I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.	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	And my tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them a 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 sanctifies them, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for ever.	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.’”
