Zechariah 5:7-11

New International Version

⁷ Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! ⁸ He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.^(A)

⁹ Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork,^(B) and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

¹⁰ “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.

¹¹ He replied, “To the country of Babylonia^[a](C) to build a house^(D) for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”^(E)
