1Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2And 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.”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 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.”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.
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.”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 talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”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?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.” He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: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.
7Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is 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.
8then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.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 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.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 said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11And 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.”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.
