Chapter 5
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 width 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 the LORD 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 middle 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 this is 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 lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up — and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket."
8 He said , " This is Wickedness ;" and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth .
9 Then I lifted 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 ."
