5:1  Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!
5:2  And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.”
5:3  Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it.
5:4  I will send it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.”
5:5  Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.”
5:6  And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah that goes forth.” And he said, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”
5:7  And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah!
5:8  And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth.
5:9  Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.
5:10  Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”
5:11  He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base.”
