Zechariah 5

1 Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.

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

2 And he said to me, What do thou see? And I answered, I see a flying roll. The length of it is twenty cubits, and the breadth of it ten cubits.

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 he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cut off on the one side according to it, and everyone who swears shall be cut off on the other side according to it.

Then said he unto me: 'This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land; for every one that stealeth shall be swept away on the one side like it; and every one that sweareth shall be swept away on the other side like it.

4 I will cause it to go forth, says Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

I cause it to go 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 abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.'

5 Then the agent who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.

Then the angel that spoke 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 the ephah that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land

And I said: 'What is it?' And he said: 'This is the measure that goeth forth.' He said moreover: 'This is their eye in all the land —

7 (and, behold, a talent of lead was lifted up), and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.

and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.'

8 And he said, This is Wickedness. And he cast her down into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth of it.

And he said: 'This is Wickedness.' And he cast her down into the midst of the measure, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

9 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came forth 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 between earth and heaven.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the heaven.

10 Then I said to the agent who talked with me, Where do these carry the ephah?

Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?'

11 And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar. And when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

And he said unto me: 'To build her a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
