Ezekiel 47:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 And he said to me, “These waters are going out to the eastern region, and they go down to the Jordan Valley,[a] and they come to the sea[b] and flow into the sea where they issue out,[c] and the waters in the sea will be healed.[d] 9 And then every living creature with which it teems,[e] to every place the waters come[f] it will live; and very many fish will live because these waters came there, and so the water will be healed[g] and everything will be alive everywhere that[h] the stream will come.[i] 10 And then fishers[j] from En Gedi and on up to En Eglaim will stand beside it, a sea-girt drying yard for nets; their fish for the dragnets will be of every kind,[k] like the fish of the great sea,[l] and very 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)
