1 T hen I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll.

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

2 A nd he said to me, “ What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”

He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”

3 T hen he said to me, “This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole land; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the writing on the other side.

Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

4 I will make it go forth,” declares the Lord of hosts, “and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones.”

I will cause it to go out,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”

5 T hen the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth.”

Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing.”

6 I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their appearance in all the land

I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land

7 ( and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.”

(and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”

8 T hen he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening.

He said, “This is Wickedness”; and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.

9 T hen I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were 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 basket between earth and the sky.

10 I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”

Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”

11 T hen he said to me, “To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.”

He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
