Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

I asked, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”

Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman!
8 "This is Wickedness," he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening.

He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.
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.

He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”
