New Catholic Bible
Chapter 37
Vision of the Dry Bones.[a] 1 The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he carried me away by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley that was full of bones. 2 He made me walk among them in every direction so that I would be aware how great was the number of these bones on the floor of the valley, and they were exceedingly dry.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I replied, “Lord God, only you can know that.”
