Good News Translation
11 But the water in the marshes and ponds along the shore will not be made fresh. They will remain there as a source of salt. 12 (A)On each bank of the stream all kinds of trees will grow to provide food. Their leaves will never wither, and they will never stop bearing fruit. They will have fresh fruit every month, because they are watered by the stream that flows from the Temple. The trees will provide food, and their leaves will be used for healing people.”
