and withdrew the spirit and breath he gave,

and renew a steadfast[fn] spirit within me.

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not loyal

and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

they are terrified;

when you take away their breath,

they die and return to the dust.

and he spoke rashly with his lips.

I open my mouth and pant

because I long for your commands.

They have ears but cannot hear;

indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.

When his breath[fn] leaves him,

he returns to the ground;

on that day his plans die.

He sends his word and melts them;

he unleashes his winds,[fn] and the water flows.

Who knows if the spirits of the children of Adam go upward and the spirits of animals go downward to the earth?

The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of confusion.

The leaders have made Egypt stagger in all she does,

as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.

For you have been a stronghold for the poor person,

a stronghold for the needy in his distress,

a refuge from storms and a shade from heat.

When the breath of the violent

is like a storm against a wall,

We became pregnant, we writhed in pain;

we gave birth to wind.

We have won no victories on earth,

and the earth's inhabitants have not fallen.

Search and read the scroll of the LORD:

Not one of them will be missing,

none will be lacking its mate,

because he has ordered it by my[fn] mouth,

and he will gather them by his Spirit.

“I am about to put a spirit in him and he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.' ”

This is what God, the LORD, says —

who created the heavens and stretched them out,

who spread out the earth and what comes from it,

who gives breath to the people on it

and spirit to those who walk on it —

But they rebelled

and grieved his Holy Spirit.

So he became their enemy

and fought against them.

Like cattle that go down into the valley,

the Spirit of the LORD gave them[fn] rest.

You led your people this way

to make a glorious name for yourself.

“a wind too strong for this comes at my call.[fn] Now I will also pronounce judgments against them.' ”

Sharpen the arrows!

Fill the quivers![fn]

The LORD has roused the spirit

of the kings of the Medes

because his plan is aimed at Babylon

to destroy her,

for it is the LORD's vengeance,

vengeance for his temple.

The Spirit then lifted me up, and I heard a loud rumbling sound behind me ​— ​bless the glory of the LORD in his place! ​— ​

“I will give them integrity of[fn] heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone from their bodies[fn] and give them a heart of flesh,

therefore, tell those plastering it with whitewash that it will fall. Torrential rain will come, and I will send hailstones plunging[fn] down, and a whirlwind will be released.

“Throw off all the transgressions you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, house of Israel?

“When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your children in the fire,[fn] you still continue to defile yourselves with all your idols today. So should I let you inquire of me, house of Israel? As I live ​— ​this is the declaration of the Lord GOD ​— ​I will not let you inquire of me!

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone[fn] and give you a heart of flesh.

“This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live.

He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath,[fn] prophesy, son of man. Say to it: This is what the Lord GOD says: Breath, come from the four winds and breathe into these slain so that they may live! ”

Finally Daniel, named Belteshazzar after the name of my god ​— ​and a spirit of the holy gods is in him ​— ​came before me. I told him the dream:

Ephraim chases[fn] the wind

and pursues the east wind.

He continually multiplies lies and violence.

He makes a covenant with Assyria,

and olive oil is carried to Egypt.

He is here:

the one who forms the mountains,

creates the wind,

and reveals his thoughts to man,

the one who makes the dawn out of darkness

and strides on the heights of the earth.

The LORD, the God of Armies, is his name.

But the LORD threw a great wind onto the sea, and such a great storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart.

If a man comes

and utters empty lies ​—

“I will preach to you about wine and beer” —

he would be just the preacher for this people!

Then they sweep by like the wind

and pass through.

They are guilty;[fn] their strength is their god.

The LORD roused the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, the spirit of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. They began work on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God,

Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.

A pronouncement:

The word of the LORD concerning Israel.

A declaration of the LORD,

who stretched out the heavens,

laid the foundation of the earth,

and formed the spirit of man within him.

“Then I will pour out a spirit[fn] of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at[fn] me whom they pierced. They will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for him as one weeps for a firstborn.

“On that day” ​— ​this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies ​— ​“I will remove the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered. I will banish the prophets[fn] and the unclean spirit from the land.
