Zechariah 5

1Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.

1Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.

1Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.

2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

2And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.

3Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off on the other side according to it.

3Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off on the other side according to it.

3Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

4I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

4I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

4And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

5Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

5Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

5And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.

6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land

6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land

6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.

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

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

7And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.

8And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

8And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

8And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

9Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.

9Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.

9And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

10And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?

11And he said unto me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

11And he said unto me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

11And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.
