Ezek 47:11 · Douay-Rheims
“But on the shore thereof, and in the fenny places they shall not be healed, because they shall be turned into saltpits.”
On this verse:
“marshes--marshy places. The region is known to have such pits and marshes. The Arabs take the salt collected by evaporation in these pits for their own use, and that of their flocks. not be healed--Those not reached by the healing waters of the Gospel, through their sloth and earthly-mindedness, are given over (Rev 22:11) to their own bitterness and barrenness (as "saltness" is often employed to express, Deu 29:23; Psa 107:34; Zep 2:9); and awful example to others in the punishment they suffer (Pe2 2:6).”
