Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
1 Then I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold a flying roll.
1
I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof <em>is</em> twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
2
He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide. ”
3 Then said he unto me, This <em>is</em> the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth; for every one that steals (as it <em>is written</em> on one side of the <em>roll</em>) shall be destroyed; and every one that swears (as it <em>is written</em> on the other side of the <em>roll</em>) shall be destroyed.
3
And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished.
4 I brought it forth, said the LORD of the hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name; and it shall remain in the midst of his house and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
4
The LORD Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’ ”
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes and see what <em>is</em> this that goes forth.
5
Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”
6 And I said, What <em>is</em> it? And he said, This is an ephah <em>to measure wheat</em> that goes forth. He said moreover, This <em>is</em> their resemblance in all the earth.
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 And, behold, they lifted up a talent of lead, and a woman was sitting in the midst of that ephah.
7
Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman!
8 And he said, This <em>is</em> wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
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 lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind <em>was</em> in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
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 Then I said to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah?
10
“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.
11 And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
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.”
