Zechariah 5:1-11
5 And once more I raised my eyes and saw, and there was a document flying.
2 And he said to me “What do you see?” and I said “I see a document flying, thirty feet long and fifteen wide.”
3 And he said to me “This is the anathema that is going out all over the country; for every stealer will be cleared out on this side in accordance with it and every swearer will be cleared out on that side in accordance with it.
4 I put it out, quoth Jehovah of Armies, and it will go into the thief’s house and into the house of the one who swears by my name to a lie, and it will lodge inside the house and make an end of it wood and stones and all.”
5 And the angel that was speaking with me came out and said to me “Raise your eyes and see what this is that is going out.”
6 And I said “What is that?” And he said “This is the bushel that is going out”; and he said “This is their guilt throughout the country.”
7 And there a disk of lead lifted itself up, and there sitting inside the bushel was a woman.
8 And he said “This is Wickedness” and threw her into the bushel and threw the block of lead on its mouth.
9 And I raised my eyes and saw, and there were two women coming out, with wind in their wings; they had wings like a stork’s. And they carried the bushel up between the earth and the sky,
10 and I said to the angel that was speaking with me “Where are they taking the bushel to?”
11 * and he said to me “To build it a house in Shinear, and have a base ready, and they will set it down there on its base.”
