Seventh Vision: Woman in the Basket

5 Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, "Look up and see what this is that is approaching." 6 So I asked, "What is it?" He responded, "It's a measuring basket^a that is approaching." And he continued, "This is their iniquity^b in all the land." 7 Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket. 8 "This is Wickedness," he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening. 9 Then 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. 10 So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the basket?" 11 "To build a shrine for it in the land of Shinar,"^c he told me. "When that is ready, [the basket] will be placed there on its pedestal."
