Noyes - Zechariah - 5

5:1  And I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, a flying roll.

5:2  And he said to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

5:3  Then said he to me:— This is the curse that goeth forth Over the Face of the whole land; For every one who stealeth shall be cut off from hence, according to it, And every one who sweareth falsely shall be cut off from hence, according to it.

5:4  I will bring it 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 his house, And shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

5:5  Then the angel who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is which goeth forth.

5:6  And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which goeth forth. He said, moreover, This is their image through all the land.

5:7  And behold, a talent of lead was lifted up, and a woman was sitting upon the ephah.

5:8  And he said, This is the Wickedness. And he cast her into the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

5:9  Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and behold, there came forth two women, and wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and heaven.

5:10  Then said I to the angel who talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

5:11  And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar, that it may be fixed there, and set upon its base.
