Ezekiel 47:5-12

5Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not 1wade across, because the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a 2river that could not be crossed by wading. 6And he said to me, “Son of man, have you 3seen this?” Then he brought me 4back to the bank of the river. 7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many 5trees 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 6Arabah; then they go toward the 7sea, being made to flow into the 8sea, and the waters of the sea become 9fresh. 9And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 10river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others 11become fresh; so 12everything will live where the river goes. 10And it will come about that 13fishermen will stand beside it; from 14Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the 15spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the 16Great Sea, 17very many. 11But its swamps and marshes will not become 18fresh; they will be 19left for 20salt. 12And 21by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of 22trees for food. Their 23leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their 24leaves for healing.”
