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 breadth 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 Yahweh 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 midst 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 is this 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 talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah basket."
8
He said , "This is Wickedness;" and he threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth .
9
Then lifted I 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."
