Zechariah 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Then I raised my eyes again and saw a scroll flying.	1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
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 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 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 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 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 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 who spoke with me came forward and said to me, "Raise your eyes and see what this is that comes forth."	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 "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 an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the bushel.	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 "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 it into the midst of the ephah; and he 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 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 I said to the angel who spoke with me, "Where are they taking the bushel?"	10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
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 unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
