Vision of the Flying Scroll

5 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying ascroll.

2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”

So 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 bcurse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”

4 “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;

“It shall enter the house of the cthief

And the house of dthe one who swears falsely by My name.

It shall remain in the midst of his house

And consume eit, with its timber and stones.”

Vision of the Woman in a Basket

5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”

6 So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a 1basket that is going forth.”

He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: 7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; 8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead 2cover over its mouth. 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a fstork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

10 So I said to the gangel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

11 And he said to me, “To hbuild a house for it in ithe land of 3Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”
