1The vibe of the Lord was on me, and lifted me up in the Spirit, dropping me in a valley full of bones, fr.

2He made me stroll around them, and wow, there were tons in the open valley; and, like, they were super dry.

3Then He asked me, "Yo, can these bones come back to life?" And I was like, "O Lord God, you know what's up."

4Again, He told me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say, 'Yo, dry bones, listen up to the word of the Lord.'"

5The Lord God said to these bones, "Bet, I’m gonna make breath enter you, and you’ll be alive."

6"I’ll hook you up with sinews, bring flesh on you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you’ll be alive; then you’ll know I’m the Lord."

7So I prophesied as I was told, and as I did, there was a noise, like a shake, and the bones came together, piece by piece.

8And when I looked, the sinews and flesh showed up, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them, sus.

9Then He told me, "Prophesy to the wind, son of man, and say to the wind, 'The Lord God says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, so they can live.'"

10So I prophesied as He commanded, and the breath entered them, and they lived, standing up like a lit army.

11Then he said to me, "Yo, these bones are the whole squad of Israel: check it, they’re like, ‘Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we’re cut off, no cap.’"

12So prophesy and say to them, "Listen up, fam; the Lord God says, ‘I’m about to open your graves and bring you back to the land of Israel, periodt.’"

13And you’ll know I’m the Lord when I pop off and open your graves, my people, and bring you up from them.

14I’ll put my spirit in you, and you’ll live, and I’ll place you in your own land: then you’ll know I, the Lord, have said it and done it, fr.

15The word of the Lord hit me up again, saying,

16"Yo, son of man, grab one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah and the crew of Israel,’ then grab another stick and write, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel.’"

17Then join them together into one stick; they’ll become one in your hand, lit.

18And when your peeps ask you what’s up with this,

19Say to them, "The Lord God says, ‘I’m taking the stick of Joseph, which is in Ephraim’s hand, and the tribes of Israel, and I’ll combine it with Judah’s stick, and they’ll be one in my hand.’"

20And the sticks you write on will be in your hand for them to see, no cap.

21Yo, God’s like, “Listen up! I'm gonna scoop the kids of Israel from all the vibes they’ve been chillin’ in, and bring ‘em back to their own land. Periodt.”

22I’m making them one squad in the mountains of Israel; one king for the whole crew, no more split vibes, all together now.

23They won't be messing with idols or any sus stuff anymore; I’m saving them from where they’ve been slippin’ and cleaning them up: they’ll be my peeps, and I’ll be their God, no cap.

24David’s my dude, he’s gonna be their king; they’ll have one shepherd and will follow my rules, for real.

25They’ll live in the land I gave to Jacob, where their fams have been; they and their kids will chill there forever, and my guy David will be their forever prince.

26I’m making a peace deal with them; it’s gonna be forever, and I’ll bless them and set up my spot in the middle of them for all time.

27My tabernacle’s gonna be with them; I’ll be their God, and they’ll be my people, fr.

28The outsiders will see that I, the Lord, am all about Israel when my spot is right in the middle of them forevermore.

1The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

5Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6And 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.

7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9Then 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.

10So 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.

11Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

15The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

16Moreover, 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:

17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

19Say 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 fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

20And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22And 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:

23Neither 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 dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24And David my servant 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.

25And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

26Moreover 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.

27My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

28And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
