Ezekiel 47:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ As I went back, I saw upon the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. ⁸ And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea,^[a] the water will become fresh. ⁹ And wherever the river^[b] goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea^[c] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.
