4. And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over into water--water to the knees. And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over--water to the loins.
5. And he measureth a thousand--a stream that I am not able to pass over; for risen have the waters--waters to swim in--a stream that is not passed over.
6. And he saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man?' and he leadeth me, and bringeth me back unto the edge of the stream.
7. In my turning back, then, lo, at the edge of the stream [are] very many trees, on this side and on that side.
8. And he saith unto me, `These waters are going forth unto the east circuit, and have gone down unto the desert, and have entered the sea; unto the sea they are brought forth, and the waters have been healed.
9. And it hath come to pass, every living creature that teemeth, whithersoever the streams come, doth live: and there hath been great abundance of fish, for these waters have come thither, and they are healed; and every thing whither the streamcometh hath lived.
