Ezekiel 47:7-12

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 3sea, being made to flow into the 4sea, and the waters of the sea become 5fresh. 9And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 6river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others 7become fresh; so 8everything will live where the river goes. 10And it will come about that 9fishermen will stand beside it; from 10Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the 11spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the 12Great Sea, 13very many. 11But its swamps and marshes will not become 14fresh; they will be 15left for 16salt. 12And 17by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of 18trees for food. Their 19leaves 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 20leaves for healing.”
