Zechariah 5

Common English Bible CEB

1 I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

2 And he said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide."

3 He said to me, "This is the curse going out across all the land. Anyone stealing will be purged according to what's on one side of the scroll, and anyone swearing lies will be purged according to what's on the other side.

4 I sent it out, says the LORD of heavenly forces. It will come to the house of the thief and the one swearing lies in my name. It will lodge in their house and destroy the wood and stones of that house."

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."

1 Again I looked up and saw a flying scroll.

2 And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits."

3 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to the writing on the other side.

4 I have sent it out, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in that house and consume it, both timber and stones."

5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what this is that is coming out."

6 I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is a basket coming out." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land."

7 Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!

8 And he said, "This is Wickedness." So he thrust her back into the basket, and pressed the leaden weight down on its mouth.

9 Then I looked up and saw two women coming forward. The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.

10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the basket?"

11 He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base."
