And then[a] on that day, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea,[b] and the other half to the western sea;[c] it will happen both in the summer and in the winter. And Yahweh will be king over all the earth; on that day Yahweh will be one and his name one. 10 All the land will be transformed into a desert plateau[d] from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But it[e] will rise up high and it will stay[f] in its place from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, up to the Corner Gate and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11 And they[g] will dwell in it, and there will be no more ban imposed,[h] and Jerusalem will dwell in security.

At that time,[a] flowing waters will run perennially[b] from Jerusalem, half toward the Dead[c] Sea and half to the Mediterranean[d] Sea. The Lord will be king over all the earth at that time.[e] There[f] will be one Lord, and his name the only one. 10 The entire land will become like the Arabah plain from Geba[g] to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem. It will be raised up and inhabited where it is, from the Gate of Benjamin to the First Gate, then to the Corner Gate, to the Hananel Tower, and to the king’s winepresses. 11 People[h] will live there, there will be no more destruction, and Jerusalem will be safely inhabited.”
