Ezekiel 37:1

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.

2 He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.

3 Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
