Then I turned, and lifted up
mine eyes
, and looked
, and behold a flying
roll
.
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
.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent
of lead
: and this is a
woman
that sitteth
in the midst
of the ephah
.
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.
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
.
Then said I to the angel
that talked
with me, Whither do these bear
the ephah
?
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
.
