Ezekiel 47:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]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: [b]for they shall be wholesome, and everything shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And then the [c]fishers shall stand upon it, and from En Gedi even unto [d]En Eglaim, they shall spread out their nets: for their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of [e]the main sea, exceeding many.

Ezekiel 47:8-10
New International Version
8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,[a](A) where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.(B) 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.(C) 10 Fishermen(D) will stand along the shore; from En Gedi(E) to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.(F) The fish will be of many kinds(G)—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.(H)
