2 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around outside to the outer gate facing east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man who had the measuring line in his hand went eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and brought me through the waters; the waters were ankle-deep.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were waist-deep.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not cross: for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be crossed.
6 And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on one side and on the other.
8 Then he said to me, These waters flow toward the eastern region, and go into the desert, and go into the sea: which when flowing into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
