Zechariah Chapter 5 (NKJV Bible)
1 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying [1†]scroll.
2 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.”
3 Then he said to me, “This is the [2†]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.”
4 “I will send out the curse,” says the LORD of hosts; “It shall enter the house of the [3†]thief And the house of [4†]the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume [5†]it, with its timber and stones.”
5 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.”
6 So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.” He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth:
7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”;
8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.
9 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 [6†]stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
10 So I said to the [7†]angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
11 And he said to me, “To [8†]build a house for it in [9†]the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”
