1 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flyingscroll.

2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”

So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its lengthistwenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”

3 Then he said to me, “Thisisthecurse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ accordingtothis side ofthescroll;and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ accordingtothat side of it.”

4 “I will send outthecurse,” says theLordof hosts;

“It shall enter the house of thethief

And the house ofthe one who swears falsely by My name.

It shall remain in the midst of his house

And consumeit, with its timber and stones.”

6 So I asked, “Whatisit?” And he said, “Itisa basket that is going forth.”

He also said, “Thisistheir resemblance throughout the earth:

7 Hereisa lead disc lifted up, and thisisa woman sitting inside the basket”;

8 then he said, “ThisisWickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.

9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and thereweretwo women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of astork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

10 So I said to theangel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
