Ezekiel Chapter 37
The vibe of the Lord came over me, and lifted me up in the Spirit, dropping me in a valley packed with bones, fr.
The 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,
He had me stroll around them, and like, there were mad bones out in the open valley; and for real, they were crazy dry.
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, {there were} very many in the open valley; and, lo, {they were} very dry. {valley: or, champaign}
So He was like, "Can these bones come back to life?" And I was like, "O Lord God, you know the deal."
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Then He told me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say, 'Yo, dry bones, pay attention to the word of the Lord.'"
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
The Lord God said to those bones, "Bet, I’m about to make breath enter you, and you’ll come to life."
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
"I’ll hook you up with sinews, put flesh on you, cover you with skin, and fill you with breath, and you’ll be alive; then you’ll realize I’m the Lord."
And 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.
So I prophesied as I was told, and as I did, there was a sound like a quake, and the bones assembled, piece by piece.
So 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.
When I checked, sinews and flesh appeared, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them, that’s sus.
And 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.
Then He told me, "Prophesy to the wind, son of man, and tell the wind, 'The Lord God says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, so they can live.'"
Then 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. {wind: or, breath}
So I prophesied as He commanded, and the breath entered them, and they came to life, standing like a lit army.
So 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.
Then He said to me, "Yo, these bones represent the whole squad of Israel: they’re like, ‘Our bones are dried, and our hope is gone: we’re cut off, no cap.’"
Then 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.
So prophesy and tell them, "Listen up, fam; the Lord God says, ‘I’m about to open your graves and bring you back to the land of Israel, for real.’"
Therefore 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.
And you’ll know I’m the Lord when I pop off and open your graves, my people, and bring you up from them.
And 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,
I’ll place my spirit in you, and you’ll be alive, and I’ll set you in your own land: then you’ll know I, the Lord, have said it and done it, fr.
And 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.
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
"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.’"
Moreover, 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:
Then stick them together into one; they’ll be one in your hand, lit.
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
And when your peeps hit you up asking what’s good with this,
And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou {meanest} by these?
Say 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 combining it with Judah’s stick, and they’ll be one in my hand.’"
Say 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.
And the sticks you write on will be in your hand for them to peep, no cap.
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Yo, God’s like, “Listen up! I'm gonna scoop up the kids of Israel from all the vibes they’ve been chillin’ in, and bring ‘em back to their own land. Periodt.”
And 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:
I’m making them one squad in the mountains of Israel; one king for the whole crew, no more split vibes, all together now.
And 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:
They won’t mess 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.
Neither 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.
David’s my dude, he’s gonna be their king; they’ll have one shepherd and will follow my rules, for real.
And 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.
They’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.
And 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.
I’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.
Moreover 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.
My tabernacle’s gonna be with them; I’ll be their God, and they’ll be my people, fr.
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The outsiders will see that I, the Lord, am all about Israel when my spot is right in the middle of them forevermore.
And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
