1 T hen I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.

And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a flying roll.

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

And he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I am seeing a flying roll, its length twenty by the cubit, and its breadth ten by the cubit.'

3 T hen he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”

And he saith unto me, `This the execration that is going forth over the face of all the land, for every one who is stealing, on the one side, according to it, hath been declared innocent, and every one who hath sworn, on the other side, according to it, hath been declared innocent.

4 “ I will send out the curse, ” says the Lord of hosts; “It shall enter the house of the thief And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume it, with its timber and stones.” Vision of the Woman in a Basket

`I have brought it out -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts -- and it hath come in unto the house of the thief, and unto the house of him who hath sworn in My name to a falsehood, and it hath remained in the midst of his house, and hath consumed it, both its wood and its stones.'

5 T hen the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”

And the messenger who is speaking with me goeth forth, and saith unto me, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this that is coming forth?'

6 S o I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.” He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth:

And I say, `What it?' And he saith, `This -- the ephah that is coming forth.' And he saith, `This their aspect in all the land.

7 H ere is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”;

And lo, a cake of lead lifted up; and this a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.'

8 t hen he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.

And he saith, `This the wicked woman.' And he casteth her unto the midst of the ephah, and casteth the weight of lead on its mouth.

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

And I lift up mine eyes, and see, and lo, two women are coming forth, and wind in their wings; and they have wings like wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

10 S o I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `Whither they causing the ephah to go?'

11 A nd he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”

And he saith unto me, `To build to it a house in the land of Shinar.' And it hath been prepared and hath been placed there on its base.
