Ezekiel 47:8-10
Revised Standard Version
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. 10 Fishermen will stand beside the sea; from En-ge′di to En-eg′laim it will be a place for the spreading of nets; its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.
