Ezekiel 47:9-11
International Standard Version
9 It will support all kinds of living creatures that will thrive abundantly wherever the river flows. There will be a great many fish, because this water will flow there and turn the salt water fresh. As a result, everything will live wherever the river flows. 10 A day will come when fishermen will line its banks—from En-gedi to En-eglaim[a] there will be plenty of room to spread out nets. There will be all sorts of species of fish, as abundant as the fish that live in the Mediterranean[b] Sea. There will be lots of them!
11 “The river delta[c] will consist of swamps and marshes that will remain a salt water wetland preserve.
