Ezekiel 47:6-12
6And he 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 5sea, being made to flow into the 6sea, and the waters of the sea become 7fresh. 9And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 8river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others 9become fresh; so 10everything will live where the river goes. 10And it will come about that 11fishermen will stand beside it; from 12Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the 13spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the 14Great Sea, 15very many. 11But its swamps and marshes will not become 16fresh; they will be 17left for 18salt. 12And 19by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of 20trees for food. Their 21leaves 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 22leaves for healing.”
