1 Then I turned{H7725}{(H8799)}, and lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} mine eyes{H5869}, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and behold a flying{H5774}{(H8802)} roll{H4039}.

2 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, What seest{H7200}{(H8802)} thou? And I answered{H559}{(H8799)}, I see{H7200}{(H8802)} a flying{H5774}{(H8802)} roll{H4039}; the length{H753} thereof is twenty{H6242} cubits{H520}, and the breadth{H7341} thereof ten{H6235} cubits{H520}.

3 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} he unto me, This is the curse{H423} that goeth forth{H3318}{(H8802)} over the face{H6440} of the whole earth{H776}: for every one that stealeth{H1589}{(H8802)} shall be cut off{H5352}{(H8738)} as on this side according{H3644} to it; and every one that sweareth{H7650}{(H8737)} shall be cut off{H5352}{(H8738)} as on that side according{H3644} to it.

4 I will bring it forth{H3318}{(H8689)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, and it shall enter{H935}{(H8804)} into the house{H1004} of the thief{H1590}, and into the house{H1004} of him that sweareth{H7650}{(H8737)} falsely{H8267} by my name{H8034}: and it shall remain{H3885}{(H8804)} in the midst{H8432} of his house{H1004}, and shall consume{H3615}{(H8765)} it with the timber{H6086} thereof and the stones{H68} thereof.

5 Then the angel{H4397} that talked{H1696}{(H8802)} with me went forth{H3318}{(H8799)}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, Lift up{H5375}{(H8798)} now thine eyes{H5869}, and see{H7200}{(H8798)} what is this that goeth forth{H3318}{(H8802)}.

6 And I said{H559}{(H8799)}, What is it? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, This is an ephah{H374} that goeth forth{H3318}{(H8802)}. He said{H559}{(H8799)} moreover, This is their resemblance{H5869} through all the earth{H776}.

7 And, behold, there was lifted up{H5375}{(H8738)} a talent{H3603} of lead{H5777}: and this is a{H259} woman{H802} that sitteth{H3427}{(H8802)} in the midst{H8432} of the ephah{H374}.

8 And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, This is wickedness{H7564}. And he cast{H7993}{(H8686)} it into the midst{H8432} of the ephah{H374}; and he cast{H7993}{(H8686)} the weight{H68} of lead{H5777} upon the mouth{H6310} thereof.

9 Then lifted I up{H5375}{(H8799)} mine eyes{H5869}, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and, behold, there came out{H3318}{(H8802)} 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}{(H8799)} the ephah{H374} between the earth{H776} and the heaven{H8064}.

10 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} I to the angel{H4397} that talked{H1696}{(H8802)} with me, Whither do these bear{H3212}{(H8688)} the ephah{H374}?

11 And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, To build{H1129}{(H8800)} it an house{H1004} in the land{H776} of Shinar{H8152}: and it shall be established{H3559}{(H8717)}, and set{H3240}{(H8717)} there upon her own base{H4369}.
