Ezekiel 47:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Now when I turned, behold, at the brink of the river were very many [a]trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the East country, and run down into the plain, and shall go into one [b]sea: they shall run into another sea, and the waters shall be wholesome.
9 And everything that liveth, which moveth, wheresoever the rivers shall come, shall live, and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: [c]for they shall be wholesome, and everything shall live whither the river cometh.
