Sixth Vision: The Flying Scroll

¹ Again I looked up and saw a flying scroll. ² And he said to me, "What do you see?" 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 land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears falsely^[a] shall be cut off according to the writing on the other side. ⁴ I have sent it out, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in that house and consume it, both timber and stones."

Seventh Vision: The Woman in a Basket

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what this is that is coming out." ⁶ I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is a basket^[b] coming out." And he said, "This is their iniquity^[c] in all the land." ⁷ Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!^{[d] 8} And he said, "This is Wickedness." So he thrust her back into the basket,^[e] and pressed the leaden weight down on its mouth. ⁹ Then I looked up and saw two women coming forward. The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket^[f] between earth and sky. ¹⁰ Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the basket?"^{[g] 11} He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the basket^[h] down there on its base."
