35:12

وَمَا یَسْتَوِی الْبَحْرَانِࣗ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَٓائِـغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌؕ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَاْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِیًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْیَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَاۚ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فٖیهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Wama yastawee albahrani hatha AAathbun furatun saighun sharabuhu wahatha milhun ojajun wamin kullin takuloona lahman tariyyan watastakhrijoona hilyatan talbasoonaha watara alfulka feehi mawakhira litabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroona

Translations

And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful

Saheeh International

And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks
