Zechariah 5

The Flying Scroll

And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.

A Vision of a Flying Scroll

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!

And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying roll: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

And 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.”a

And he said unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off according to it on this side; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off according to it on that side.

Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who swears falselyb shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side.

I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall lodge in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall remain in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.”

The Woman in a Basket

And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

A Vision of a Woman in a Basket

Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out.”

And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. And he said, This is their resemblance in all the land.

And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the basketc that is going out.” And he said, “This is their iniquityd in all the land.”

And behold, there was lifted up a round plate of lead; and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!

And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening.

And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

And I said to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these carry the ephah?

Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?”

And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar; and it shall be established, and set there upon its own base.

He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base.”
