Zechariah 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Then I raised my eyes again and saw a scroll flying.	1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.
2 "What do you see?" he asked me. I answered, "I see a scroll flying; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide."	2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Then he said to me: "This is the curse which is to go forth over the whole earth; in accordance with it shall every thief be swept away, and in accordance with it shall every perjurer be expelled from here.	3 And he said to me: This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it.
4 I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall come into the house of the thief, or into the house of him who perjures himself with my name; it shall lodge within his house, consuming it, timber and stones."	4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to 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 who spoke with me came forward and said to me, "Raise your eyes and see what this is that comes forth."	5 And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth.
6 "What is it?" I asked. And he answered, "This is a bushel container coming. This is their guilt in all the land."	6 And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth.
7 Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the bushel.	7 And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.
8 "This is Wickedness," he said; and he thrust her inside the bushel, pushing the leaden cover into the opening.	8 And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then I raised my eyes and saw two women coming forth with a wind ruffling their wings, for they had wings like the wings of a stork. As they lifted up the bushel into the air,	9 And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven.
10 I said to the angel who spoke with me, "Where are they taking the bushel?"	10 And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?
11 He replied, "To build a temple for it in the land of Shinar; when the temple is ready, they will deposit it there in its place."	11 And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis.
