Ezekiel 47:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 When I had returned, I saw a very large number of trees along both sides of the riverbank.(A) 8 He said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down to the Arabah. When it enters the sea, the sea of foul water,[a][b] the water of the sea becomes fresh.(B) 9 Every kind of living creature that swarms will live wherever the river flows,[c] and there will be a huge number of fish because this water goes there. Since the water will become fresh, there will be life everywhere the river goes.

King James Version
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

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.
