Chapter 5
001
Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
002
She said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits."
003
Then she 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.
004
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 her who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of her house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."
005
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."
006
I said, "What is it?" She said, "This is the ephah basket that is appearing." She said moreover, "This is their appearance in all the land
007
(and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a man sitting in the midst of the ephah basket."
008
She said, "This is Wickedness;" and she threw him down into the midst of the ephah basket; and she threw the weight of lead on its mouth.
009
Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were two men, 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.
010
Then said I to the angel who talked with me, "Where are these carrying the ephah basket?"
011
She said to me, "To build him a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, he will be set there in his own place."
