The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 31: Ezechiel: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Ezekiel
37:6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over
you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you
shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
37:7. And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there
was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each
one, its joint.
37:8. And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them:
and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in
them.
37:9. And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man,
and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the
four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again.
37:10. And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into
them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding
great army.
37:11. And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of
Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we
are cut off.
37:12. Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:
Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your
sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel.
37:13. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened
your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my
people:
37:14. And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I
shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the
Lord have spoken, and done it, saith the Lord God:
37:15. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
37:16. And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of
Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another
stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all
the house of Israel, and of his associates.
37:17. And join them one to the other into one stick, and they shall
become one in thy hand.
37:18. And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying:
Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by this?
37:19. Say to 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 that are associated with him, and I will put them together with
the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one
in his hand.
37:20. And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand,
before their eyes.
37:21. And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I
will take of the children of Israel from the midst of the nations
whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will
bring them to their own land.
37:22. 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 no more
be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more into two
kingdoms.
