Zechariah 5:5-11

Common English Bible CEB

5 Then the messenger speaking with me came forward and said, "Look up and see what's approaching."

6 I said, "What's this?" He said, "This is the basket that is going out. This is how it appears throughout the entire land."

7 Then a lead cover was lifted, showing a woman sitting in the middle of the basket.

8 He said, "This is wickedness." He shoved her back into the basket, and he put the lead stone over its opening.

9 I looked up again and saw two women going out. There was a wind in their wings; their wings were like the wings of a stork. They carried the basket between the earth and the sky.

10 I said to the messenger speaking with me, "Where are they taking the basket?"

11 He said to me, "To build a house for it in the land of Shinar. It will be firmly placed there on its base."

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

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

7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman!

8 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 there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

10 “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.

11 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.”
