< Zechariah 5 >
1 And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a scroll flying.
Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.
2 And he said to me what? [are] you seeing and I said I [am] seeing a scroll flying length its [is] twenty by the cubit and breadth its [is] ten by the cubit.
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.
3 And he said to me this [is] the curse which is about to go forth over [the] surface of all the land for every [one who] steals from this according to it he will be purged and every [one who] swears an oath from this according to it he will be purged.
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.
4 I will send forth it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and it will go into [the] house of the thief and into [the] house of the [one who] swears an oath by name my to falsehood and it will lodge in [the] midst of house his and it will destroy it and wood its and stone its.
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.
5 And he went out the angel who was speaking with me and he said to me lift up please eyes your and see what? [is] the [thing which] is going forth this.
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.
6 And I said what? [is] it and he said this [is] the ephah which is going forth and he said this [is] appearance their in all the land.
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
7 And there! a round cover of lead [was] raised and this woman one [was] sitting in [the] midst of the ephah.
(and, behold, a talent of lead was lifted up), and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said this [woman] [is] wickedness and he threw her into [the] midst of the ephah and he threw [the] weight of lead into mouth its.
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.
9 And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! two women [were] going forth and a wind [was] in wings their and [belonged] to them wings like [the] wings of stork and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and between the heavens.
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.
10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me where? [are] they taking the ephah.
Then I said to the agent who talked with me, Where do these carry the ephah?
11 And he said to me to build for it a house in [the] land of Shinar and it will be prepared and it will be placed there on on own stand its.
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.
