Zechariah 5
Revised Standard Version
1 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!
2 And 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 face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it.
4 I will send it forth, says 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 abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.'
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, 'Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.'
6 And I said, 'What is it?' He said, 'This is the ephah that goes forth.' And he said, 'This is their iniquity in all the land.'
7 And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah!
8 And he said, 'This is Wickedness.' And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth.
9 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 ephah between earth and heaven.
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, 'Where are they taking the ephah?'
11 He said to me, 'To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base.'
