Ezekiel 47:8-10
New King James Version
8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the [a]valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever [b]the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish (A)of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

English Standard Version
8 And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into (A)the Arabah, and enters the sea;[a] when the water flows into (B)the sea, the water will become fresh.[b] 9 And wherever the river goes,[c] every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea[d] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10 Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From (C)Engedi to (D)Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of (E)the Great Sea.[e]

8 Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the (A)Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the (B)sea, and the waters of the sea become [a]fresh. 9 It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the [b]river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others [c]become fresh; so (C)everything will live where the river goes. 10 And it will come about that (D)fishermen will stand beside it; from (E)Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the (F)spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the (G)Great Sea, (H)very many.
