Zechariah 5:3

Zechariah's Sixth Vision

² Someone asked me, "What do you see?" I replied, "I see a flying scroll thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide." ³ The speaker went on to say, "This is a curse traveling across the whole earth. For example, according to the curse whoever steals will be removed from the community; or on the other hand (according to the curse) whoever swears falsely will suffer the same fate." ⁴ "I will send it out," says the Lord who rules over all, "and it will enter the house of the thief and of the person who swears falsely in my name. It will land in the middle of his house and destroy both timber and stones."
