10 Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From (A)Engedi to (B)Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of (C)the Great Sea.[a] 11 But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. 12 And on the banks, (D)on both sides of the river, there will grow (E)all kinds of trees for food. (F)Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, (G)but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and (H)their leaves for healing.”

10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
