rivers

³⁸whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, ‘From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”

²When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you.

⁹And every living soul that moves, wherever the torrent arrives, will live. And there will be more than enough fish, after these waters have arrived there, and they will be healed. And all things will live, where the torrent arrives.

⁵The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

¹And he showed me the river of the water of life, shining like crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ²In the midst of its main street, and on both sides of the river, was the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, offering one fruit for each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the health of the nations.

⁸And this shall be in that day: the living waters will go out from Jerusalem, half of them towards the East sea, and half of them towards the furthest sea. They will be in summer and in winter.

¹And he turned me back to the gate of the house. And behold, waters went out, from under the threshold of the house, toward the east. For the face of the house looked toward the east. But the waters descended on the right side of the temple, toward the south of the altar. ²And he led me out, along the way of the north gate, and he turned me back toward the way outside the exterior gate, the way which looked toward the east. And behold, the waters overflowed on the right side. ³Then the man who held the rope in his hand departed toward the east, and he measured one thousand cubits. And he led me forward, through the water, up to the ankles. ⁴And again he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the knees. ⁵And he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the waist. And he measured one thousand, into a torrent, through which I was not able to pass. For the waters had risen to become a profound torrent, which was not able to be crossed. ⁶And he said to me: “Son of man, certainly you have seen.” And he led me out, and he turned me back to the bank of the torrent.

⁷All rivers enter into the sea, and the sea does not overflow. To the place from which the rivers go out, they return, so that they may flow again.

¹⁰You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.

⁹They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment.

¹And he showed me the river of the water of life, shining like crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹¹And the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not fail.
