Ezekiel 47:7-10

7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many 1trees 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 2Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the 3sea, and the waters of the sea become 4fresh.

9It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 5river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others 6become fresh; so 7everything will live where the river goes.

10And it will come about that 8fishermen will stand beside it; from 9Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the 10spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the 11Great Sea, 12very many.
