Ezekiel 47:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And everything that liveth, which moveth, wheresoever the rivers shall come, shall live, and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: [a]for they shall be wholesome, and everything shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And then the [b]fishers shall stand upon it, and from En Gedi even unto [c]En Eglaim, they shall spread out their nets: for their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of [d]the main sea, exceeding many.
11 But [e]the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof shall not be wholesome: they shall be made salt pits.
