Zechariah 5
1 Then I
turned, and lifted
up mine
eyes, and
looked, and behold a
flying roll. 2 And he
said unto me, What
seest thou? And I
answered, I
see a
flying roll; the
length thereof is
twenty cubits, and the
breadth thereof
ten cubits. 3 Then
said he unto me, This is the
curse that goeth
forth over the
face of the whole
earth: for every one that
stealeth shall be cut
off as on this side
according to it; and every one that
sweareth shall be cut
off as on that side
according to it.
4 I will bring it
forth,
saith the
LORD 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
remain in the
midst of his
house, and shall
consume it with the
timber thereof and the
stones thereof.
5 Then 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.
6 And I
said, What is it? And he
said, This is an
ephah that goeth
forth. He
said moreover, This is their
resemblance through all the
earth. 7 And, behold, there was lifted
up a
talent of
lead: and this is
a woman that
sitteth in the
midst of the
ephah. 8 And he
said, This is
wickedness. And he
cast it into the
midst of the
ephah; and he
cast the
weight of
lead upon the
mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I
up mine
eyes, and
looked, and, behold, there came
out two women, and the
wind was in their
wings; for they
had wings like the
wings of a
stork: and they lifted
up the
ephah between the
earth and the
heaven. 10 Then
said I to the
angel that
talked with me, Whither do these
bear the
ephah? 11 And he
said unto me, To
build it an
house in the
land of
Shinar: and it shall be
established, and
set there upon her own
base.
