1 Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air. 2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide. 3 Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment. 4 And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones. 5 And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land. 7 And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it. 9 And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven. 10 And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah? 11 And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.
