5:1 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! 5:2 And 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.' 5:3 Then he said to me, 'This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land;for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it. 5:4 I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name;and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.' 5:5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, 'Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.' 5:6 And I said, 'What is it?' He said, 'This is the ephah that goes forth.' And he said, 'This is their iniquity in all the land.' 5:7 And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah! 5:8 And he said, 'This is Wickedness.' And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth. 5:9 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings;they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. 5:10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, 'Where are they taking the ephah?' 5:11 He said to me, 'To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it;and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base.'
