Ezekiel

Ezekiel 37:9–10

⁹Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”

¹⁰So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet — a vast army.
