Then I turned[H7725], and lifted up[H5375] mine eyes[H5869], and looked[H7200], and behold a flying[H5774]roll[H4039].
2
And he said[H559] unto me, What seest[H7200] thou? And I answered[H559], I see[H7200] a flying[H5774]roll[H4039]; the length[H753] thereof is twenty[H6242]cubits[H520], and the breadth[H7341] thereof ten[H6235]cubits[H520].
3
Then said[H559] he unto me, This is the curse[H423] that goeth forth[H3318] over the face[H6440] of the whole earth[H776]: for every one that stealeth[H1589] shall be cut off[H5352] as on this side according[H3644] to it; and every one that sweareth[H7650] shall be cut off[H5352] as on that side according[H3644] to it.
4
I will bring it forth[H3318], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], and it shall enter[H935] into the house[H1004] of the thief[H1590], and into the house[H1004] of him that sweareth[H7650]falsely[H8267] by my name[H8034]: and it shall remain[H3885] in the midst[H8432] of his house[H1004], and shall consume[H3615] it with the timber[H6086] thereof and the stones[H68] thereof.
5
Then the angel[H4397] that talked[H1696] with me went forth[H3318], and said[H559] unto me, Lift up[H5375] now thine eyes[H5869], and see[H7200] what is this that goeth forth[H3318].
6
And I said[H559], What is it? And he said[H559], This is an ephah[H374] that goeth forth[H3318]. He said[H559] moreover, This is their resemblance[H5869] through all the earth[H776].
7
And, behold, there was lifted up[H5375]a[H259]talent[H3603] of lead[H5777]: and this is a[H259]woman[H802] that sitteth[H3427] in the midst[H8432] of the ephah[H374].
8
And he said[H559], This is wickedness[H7564]. And he cast[H7993] it into the midst[H8432] of the ephah[H374]; and he cast[H7993] the weight[H68] of lead[H5777] upon the mouth[H6310] thereof.
9
Then lifted I up[H5375] mine eyes[H5869], and looked[H7200], and, behold, there came out[H3318]two[H8147]women[H802], and the wind[H7307] was in their wings[H3671]; for they had[H2007]wings[H3671] like the wings[H3671] of a stork[H2624]: and they lifted up[H5375] the ephah[H374] between the earth[H776] and the heaven[H8064].
10
Then said[H559] I to the angel[H4397] that talked[H1696] with me, Whither do these bear[H3212] the ephah?[H374]
11
And he said[H559] unto me, To build[H1129] it an house[H1004] in the land[H776] of Shinar[H8152]: and it shall be established[H3559], and set[H3240] there upon her own base[H4369].
