Ezekiel 47:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 And then the [a]fishers shall stand upon it, and from En Gedi even unto [b]En Eglaim, they shall spread out their nets: for their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of [c]the main sea, exceeding many.
11 But [d]the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof shall not be wholesome: they shall be made salt pits.
12 And by this river upon the brink thereof, on this side, and on that side shall grow all [e]fruitful trees, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters run out of the Sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be meat, and the leaf thereof shall be for [f]medicine.

Ezekiel 47:10-12
New International Version
10 Fishermen(A) will stand along the shore; from En Gedi(B) to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.(C) The fish will be of many kinds(D)—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.(E) 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.(F) 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river.(G) Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit(H) fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary(I) flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.(J)”
