Ezekiel 47:6-12

6He said to me, “Son of man, have you 1seen this?” Then he brought me 2back to the bank of the river. 7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many 3trees on the one side and on the other. 8Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the 4Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the 5sea, and the waters of the sea become 6fresh. 9It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 7river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others 8become fresh; so 9everything will live where the river goes. 10And it will come about that 10fishermen will stand beside it; from 11Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the 12spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the 13Great Sea, 14very many. 11But its swamps and marshes will not become 15fresh; they will be 16left for 17salt. 1218By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of 19trees for food. Their 20leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their 21leaves for healing.”
