1 Then I turned, and lift­ed up mine eyes, and looked, and be­hold a fly­ing roll. 2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I an­swered, I see a fly­ing roll; the length there­of is twen­ty cu­bits, and the breadth there­of ten cu­bits. 3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for ev­ery one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side ac­cord­ing to it; and ev­ery one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side ac­cord­ing to it. 4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall en­ter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth false­ly by my name: and it shall re­main in the midst of his house, and shall con­sume it with the tim­ber there­of and the stones there­of. 5 Then the an­gel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said more­over, This is their re­sem­blance through all the earth. 7 And, be­hold, there was lift­ed up a tal­ent of lead: and this is a wom­an that sit­teth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is wicked­ness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth there­of. 9 Then lift­ed I up mine eyes, and looked, and, be­hold, there came out two wom­en, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lift­ed up the ephah be­tween the earth and the heav­en. 10 Then said I to the an­gel that talked with me, Whith­er do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shi­nar: and it shall be es­tab­lished, and set there upon her own base.
