The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. It flows
down, clear and cool, from the heights of Hermon and the roots of the
cedars of Lebanon. The Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, for the Sea of
Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it pour
them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the
same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
