1 {I looked up again}, and I saw, and look!--a flying scroll!
2 And he asked me, "What [are] you seeing?" And I said, "I [am] seeing a flying scroll twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide."
3 And he said to me, "This [is] the curse going out over the surface of the whole earth. For everyone who steals has gone unpunished according to it, and [likewise] everyone who swears [falsely] has gone unpunished according to it.
4 'I have sent it out,' {declares} Yahweh of hosts, 'and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of the one swearing {falsely by my name}, and it will spend the night in that house and will destroy it, with its timber and its stone.'"
5 And the angel who was speaking to me went out, and he said to me, "{Please look up}! See what this [is] going out."
6 And I asked, "What [is] it?" And he said, "This [is] a basket going out. And he said, "This [is] their iniquity throughout all the earth.
7 And look, the lead cover was lifted and a woman [was] sitting inside the basket.
8 And he said, "This [is] Wickedness!" And he thrust her [back down] into the basket, and threw the lead cover on top of it.
9 And I {looked up} and saw, and look!--two women coming forward, and [the] wind [was] in their wings, and they had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between the earth and the sky.
