Ezekiel 47:8-12
8Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the 1Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the 2sea, and the waters of the sea become 3fresh. 9It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 4river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others 5become fresh; so 6everything will live where the river goes. 10And it will come about that 7fishermen will stand beside it; from 8Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the 9spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the 10Great Sea, 11very many. 11But its swamps and marshes will not become 12fresh; they will be 13left for 14salt. 1215By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of 16trees for food. Their 17leaves 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 18leaves for healing.”
