Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living
water will flow from his inmost being!” (John 7:38 CJB)

I always read John 7:38 as “If I believe like the scripture says…”, but I lately read this verse differently.

Let us consider for this question that it reads: Whoever believes in me, from his belly will flow rivers of living water, just as the scripture says. As far as I know the Greek allows for both translations. If this is true, where does the scripture say that rivers of living waters will flow from our inner most being?

Edit
If Jesus is quoting the OT in general and spirit and not a specific verse, what principals based on which verses would be describing that principle?
