Zechariah 5

The Flying Scroll

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

Vision of the Flying Scroll

Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there 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?”
So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”

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 earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”

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 out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;
“It shall enter the house of the thief
And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name.
It shall remain in the midst of his house
And consume it, with its 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.

Vision of the Woman in a Basket

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

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.

So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a [a]basket that is going forth.”
He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth:

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

Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside 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.

then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead [b]cover over its mouth.

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 raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for 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?

So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying 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.

And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of [c]Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”
