Ezekiel 47:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Wherever it flows, the river teems with every kind of living creature; fish will abound. Where these waters flow they refresh; everything lives where the river goes. 10 Fishermen will stand along its shore from En-gedi to En-eglaim;[a] it will become a place for drying nets, and it will abound with as many kinds of fish as the Great Sea.(A) 11 Its marshes and swamps shall not be made fresh, but will be left for salt.

Ezekiel 47:9-11
New International Version
9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.(A) 10 Fishermen(B) will stand along the shore; from En Gedi(C) to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.(D) The fish will be of many kinds(E)—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.(F) 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.(G)
