Ezekiel 47:9

And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

KJV

Et omnis anima vivens quæ serpit quocumque venerit torrens, vivet : et erunt pisces multi satis, postquam venerint illuc aquæ istæ : et sanabuntur et vivent omnia ad quæ venerit torrens.

Vulgate

καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ψυχὴ τῶν ζῴων τῶν ἐκζεόντων, ἐπὶ πάντα ἐφ’ ἃ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐκεῖ ὁ ποταμός, ζήσεται· καὶ ἔσται ἐκεῖ ἰχθὺς πολὺς σφόδρα, ὅτι ἥκει ἐκεῖ τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦτο, καὶ ὑγιάσει καὶ ζήσεται· πᾶν ἐφ’ ὃ ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ ποταμὸς ἐκεῖ, ζήσεται.

LXX

And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and the waters of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh.
