Zechariah 5

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying scroll.

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

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

4 I will cause it to go out," says the LORD of Hosts, "and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."

5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing."

6 I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the efah basket that is appearing." He said moreover, "This is their appearance in all the land

7 (and, behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the efah basket."

8 He said, "This is Wickedness;" and he threw her down into the midst of the efah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.

9 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the efah basket between eretz and the sky.

10 Then said I to the angel who talked with me, "Where are these carrying the efah basket?"

11 He said to me, "To build her a house in the land of Shin`ar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place."

The Message Bible MSG

1 I looked up again and saw - surprise! - a book on the wing! A book flying!

2 The Messenger-Angel said to me, "What do you see now?" I said, "I see a book flying, a huge book - thirty feet long and fifteen wide!"

3 He told me, "This book is the verdict going out worldwide against thieves and liars. The first half of the book disposes of everyone who steals; the second half takes care of everyone who lies.

4 I launched it" - Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies - "and so it will fly into the house of every thief and every liar. It will land in each house and tear it down, timbers and stones." Seventh Vision: A Woman in a Basket

5 The Messenger-Angel appeared and said, "Look up. Tell me what you see."

6 I said, "What in the world is that?" He said, "This is a bushel basket on a journey. It holds the sin of everyone, everywhere."

7 Then the lid made of lead was removed from the basket - and there was a woman sitting in it!

8 He said, "This is Miss Wicked." He pushed her back down into the basket and clamped the lead lid over her.

9 Then I looked up and to my surprise saw two women flying. On outstretched wings they airlifted the bushel basket into the sky.

10 I said to the Messenger-Angel, "Where are they taking the bushel basket?"

11 He said, "East to the land of Shinar. They will build a garage to house it. When it's finished, the basket will be stored there."
