Zechariah 5
- 1Then I turned, and looked up and saw, and there was a flying roll.
- 2And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying roll. Its length is 30 feet, and its width 15 feet.
- 3Then he said to me, This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth. For every one that steals shall be cut off as on this side according to it. And every one that swears shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
- 4I will bring it out, says the Lord of Hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the middle of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.
- 5Then the angel that talked with me went out, and said to me, Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that goes out.
- 6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is a large basket for measuring grain that goes out. He said also, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
- 7And a round lead cover was lifted up: and this is a woman that sits in the basket.
- 8And he said, This is evil. And he cast it into the basket. And he put the lead cover on its opening.
- 9Then lifted I up my eyes, and looked, and there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings. For they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the basket between the earth and the heaven.
- 10Then I said to the angel that talked with me, Where are they taking the basket?
- 11And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there on her own base.
