Ezekiel 47:8-12

8Then he saidH559 to me, “TheseH428 watersH4325 goH3318 outH3318 towardH413 the easternH6930 regionH1552 and goH3381 downH3381 into the 1ArabahH6160; then they goH935 toward the 2seaH3220, being made to flowH3318 into the 3seaH3220, and the watersH4325 of the sea becomeH7495 4freshH7495. 9And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that everyH3605 livingH5315 creatureH5315 whichH834 swarmsH8317 in everyH3605 place whereH834H8033 the 5riverH5158 goesH935, will liveH2421. And there will be veryH3966 manyH7227 fishH1710, for theseH428 watersH4325 goH935 thereH8033 and the others 6becomeH7495 freshH7495; so 7everythingH3605 will liveH2421 whereH834H8033 the riverH5158 goesH935. 10And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that 8fishermenH1728 will standH5975 besideH5921 it; from 9EngediH5872 to EneglaimH5882 there will be a placeH4894 forH4894 theH4894 10spreadingH4894 of netsH2764. Their fishH1710 will be according to their kindsH4327, like the fishH1710 of the 11GreatH1419 SeaH3220, 12veryH3966 manyH7227. 11But its swampsH1207 and marshesH1360 will not becomeH7495 13freshH7495; they will be 14leftH5414 for 15saltH4417. 12And 16by the riverH5158 on its bankH8193, on oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088, will growH5927 allH3605 kinds of 17treesH6086 for foodH3978. Their 18leavesH5929 will not witherH5034 and their fruitH6529 will not failH8552. They will bearH1069 fruitH1069 every monthH2320 becauseH3588 their waterH4325 flowsH3318 from the sanctuaryH4720, and their fruitH6529 will be for foodH3978 and their 19leavesH5929 for healingH8644.”
