1 Then
again I lifted
up my eyes
and saw, and
behold, a flying
scroll.
2 He said
to me, “What
do you see?”
I answered, “I
see a flying
scroll; its length is
twenty cubits,
and its width
ten cubits.”
3 Then
he said to
me, “This is
the curse that
goes out over
the surface of
the whole land,
for everyone who
steals shall be cut
off according to
it on the
one side; and
everyone who
swears falsely shall
be cut off
according to it
on the other
side.
4 I
will cause it
to go out,”
says the LORD
of Armies, “and
it will enter into
the house of
the thief, and
into the house
of him who
swears falsely by
my name; and
it will remain
in the middle
of his house,
and will destroy
it with its
timber and
its stones.”
5 Then
the angel who
talked with me
came forward and
said to me, “Lift
up now your
eyes and see
what this is
that is appearing.”
6 I
said, “What is
it?”
He said, “This
is the ephah
basket that is appearing.”
He said moreover, “This
is their
appearance in all
the land—
7 and
behold, a lead
cover weighing one
talent
was lifted up—and
there was a woman
sitting in the
middle of
the ephah
basket.”
8 He
said, “This is
Wickedness;” and
he threw her
down into the
middle of the ephah
basket; and he
threw the
lead weight on its
mouth.
9 Then
I lifted up
my eyes and
saw, and behold,
there were
two women; and the
wind was in
their wings. Now
they had wings
like the wings
of a stork,
and they lifted
up the ephah basket
between earth and
the sky.
10 Then
I said to
the angel who
talked with me, “Where
are these carrying
the ephah basket?”
11 He said
to me, “To
build her a
house in the land
of Shinar. When
it is prepared,
she will be
set there in
her own place.”
