Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying scroll.

And he said to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; the length of it is twenty cubits, and the breadth of it is ten cubits.

Then he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief has been hitherto quit of this which is on it, and every false swearer has been quit of this which is on it.

I have now produced it, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber of it and the stones of it.

Then the angel that talked with me went out, and said to me, Lift up now thy eyes, and see what is this that goes out.

And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an efa measure going out. And he said, This is their appearance throughout the earth.

And behold, the leaden cover was lifted; and there was a woman sitting in the midst of the efa.

And he said, This is Wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the efa measure; and he cast the lead cover over the mouth of it.

Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the efa measure between the earth and the sky.

Then I said to the angel that talked with me, Where are they taking the efa?

And he said to me, To build with it a house in the land of Shin῾ar: and when it is prepared, they will set it down there upon its base.
