# Chapter 5
|
||
1 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.
|
||
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”
|
||
So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”
|
||
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”
|
||
4 “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;
|
||
“It shall enter the house of the thief
|
||
And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name.
|
||
It shall remain in the midst of his house
|
||
And consume it, with its timber and stones.”
|
||
5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”
|
||
6 So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.”
|
||
He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth:
|
||
7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”;
|
||
8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” 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 there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
|
||
10 So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
|
||
11 And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.” |
