The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 31: Ezechiel: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Ezekiel
36:26. And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give
you a heart of flesh.
36:27. And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause
you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
36:28. And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and
you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
36:29. And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call
for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.
36:30. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of
the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the
nations.
36:31. And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that
were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall
displease you.
36:32. It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God,
be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house
of Israel.
36:33. Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from
all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and
shall repair the ruinous places,
36:34. And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in
the sight of all that passed by,
36:35. They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden
of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and
destroyed, are peopled and fenced.
36:36. And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know
that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was
desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.
36:37. Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of
Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a
flock of men,
36:38. As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts:
so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know
that I am the Lord.
Ezechiel Chapter 37
A vision of the resurrection of dry bones, foreshewing the deliverance
of the people from their captivity. Juda and Israel shall be all one
kingdom under Christ. God's everlasting covenant with the church.
37:1. The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the
spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was
full of bones.
37:2. And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very
many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry.
37:3. And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall
live and I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest.
37:4. And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to
them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
37:5. Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit
into you, and you shall live.
Spirit... That is, soul, life, and breath.
