Dynamic translation
(35:12) And the Two seas are not equal. One is fresh and palatable, good to drink, while the other is salty and bitter. From each of them you eat tender meat, and you extract jewelry to wear. You see the ships sailing through them, seeking His provisions; and perhaps you may be appreciative.
Arabic text
(35:12) وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِ هَذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

(25:53) And He is the One Who merges the Two seas: this one is isolated, fresh, and this one is salty, bitter. He made between them a partition and an inviolable barrier.
(27:61) The One who made the earth a habitat, and He made in it rivers and He made for it stabilizers, and He made between the Two seas a barrier. Is there a god with God? No. But most of them do not know.
(55:19-20-21-22) He merges the Two seas where they meet. A barrier is placed between them, which they do not cross. So which of your Lord's favors will you deny? Out of both of them come pearls and coral.
