| 1I looked up again and saw a flying scroll." | 1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. |
| 2What do you see?" he asked me." I see a flying scroll," I replied, "30 feet long and 15 feet wide." | 2And 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. |
| 3Then he said to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the whole land, for every thief will be removed according to what is written on one side, and everyone who swears falsely will be removed according to what is written on the other side. | 3Then 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. |
| 4I will send it out,"--this is the declaration of 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. It will stay inside his house and destroy it along with its timbers and stones." | 4I 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. |
| 5Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, "Look up and see what this is that is approaching." | 5Then 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. |
| 6So I asked, "What is it?" He responded, "It's a measuring basket that is approaching." And he continued, "This is their iniquity in all the land." | 6And 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. |
| 7Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket." | 7And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. |
| 8This is Wickedness," he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening. | 8And 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. |
| 9Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky. | 9Then 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. |
| 10So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the basket?"" | 10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? |
| 11To build a shrine for it in the land of Shinar," he told me. "When that is ready, the basket will be placed there on its pedestal." | 11And 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. |
